A 23-month-old boy has died and his three siblings and their parents are being flown to Sydney after an incident near the northern New South Wales town of Gunnedah.
It is believed the toddler, his brother and a three-year-old and five-year-old may have been poisoned, The Daily Telegraph reports.
Locals in Gunnedah said they had heard the children had been poisoned and that it was the result of an accident.
Police have set up a crime scene and called in forensic experts because they are unsure what caused the children to fall ill.
The surviving twin, the other children and their parents were due to arrive at Westmead Hospital in two helicopters tonight so that doctors could perform tests.
An ambulance was first called to the family’s property in Tambar Springs just after 2pm today.
The toddler was found in cardiac arrest and he died a short time later in hospital.
