The force said the death is currently being treated as “suspicious” as enquiries continue to establish the full circumstances.
Detective Superintendent Cheryl Kelly said: “Whilst formal identification has yet to take place, we have spoken to the family of the boy and will continue to provide them with specialist support at this distressing time.”
Investigating officers have been carrying out door-to-door enquiries and gathering CCTV footage from the surrounding area.
