Police are investigating a woman following the tragic death of Steve Bruce's young grandson. Madison Smith, aged just four months, died at his home in October where he lived with Bruce's daughter Amy and ex-Millwall striker Matt Smith. A funeral was held in the youngster's honour days later.
But a police probe has now been launched in the aftermath with a woman in her 40s being investigated on suspicion of neglect. A Greater Manchester Police spokesman said: "We can confirm an investigation is ongoing and a woman in her 40s was arrested on suspicion of child neglect. She was questioned and released on bail pending further inquiries.”.
It is suggested that police are examining her phone following Madison's death. A North West Ambulance spokesperson said in the aftermath of Madison's tragic death: “We attended a private address in Bowdon, on 18th October 2024 following a 999 call at 07:07. One patient was taken to hospital. Two ambulances, a response vehicle, and an advanced paramedic attended the incident.”.
The heartbreaking news of Madison's death saw Blackpool boss Bruce take a temporary step away from the dugout. He missed the club's League One clash with Barnsley in October - with the football landscape offering their condolences. The Manchester United icon thanked fans for their support in the days after Madison's funeral on October 29. A statement read: “On Tuesday we laid my grandson Madison to rest. It’s been the worst time of my family’s entire lives and is something no family should have to endure.
