Actor Jack Burns, 14, found dead in parents' home

Actor and ballet dancer Jack Burns has passed away at just 14 years of age.

According to Metro UK, the teenager was found dead at his parents' home in Greenock, Inverclyde, Scotland, earlier this month.

"Around 3.30 pm on Sunday, December 1, police were called following the death of a 14 year-old boy to a house in the Esplanade area of Greenock," a spokesperson told E! News.

"Inquiries are ongoing to establish the cause of death, but police are not treating it as suspicious. A report has been submitted."

The young star, who was touted "the next Billy Elliot" first found fame on British drama, In Plain Sight, before starring in Netflix's One of Us. He's also the brother of Outlander actor, Rory Burns.

Burns was a beloved member of classical ballet school, Elite Academy of Dance, who shared their pain over the news on Facebook.

"It is with a very heavy heart that we write this post," the post reads. "Tragically as you know we lost our much-loved student Jack Burns on Sunday 1st of December.

"Jack was an inspiration to everyone at Elite, and touched the hearts of everyone who had the pleasure of working and dancing with him since 2012."

The post stated Jack's friends and family are "at a loss for words and answers" during this tragic time.

Burns' funeral will take place Thursday, December 12.
