An investigation is underway into the cause of a fatal fire in County Antrim yesterday.

A woman in her 20s died in the blaze which broke out at a house in the Whitepark Road area of Ballycastle just after 5.30pm.

It's understood the woman - who was pregnant with her second child - suffered an asthma attack as a result of the fire.

Local Councillor Cara McShane says the woman was just recently married.
