A child has died at a property east of Shepparton.

Police said it appeared a young boy died when a large branch fell from a tree at Gowangardie — about 30km east of Shepparton.

It is understood the young boy was with family members at a private property off Bells Rd when he was found injured just before 8am on Thursday, December 28, police said.

Sadly, the primary school-aged boy died at the scene.

Police will prepare a report for the coroner.
