​A teenage boy is dead and another is in police custody after an incident at a home in Barrie, Ont.

City police spokesman Peter Leon says officers were called to the home shortly before 6 a.m. Tuesday and found a boy suffering from life-threatening injuries.

He was taken to hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

Leon says police took another boy into custody, adding he will face undisclosed criminal charges in the matter.

Leon says both boys lived at the home, but says there was no family relationship between them.

Although the homicide team is leading the investigation, Leon says the death will not be classified until an autopsy has been completed.
