The tot was the son of ex-Man United star Steve’s daughter Amy and her husband Matt Smith, who played for Fulham and Millwall.

After Madison’s death, a woman in her 40s, who was working as a nanny, was arrested on suspicion of child neglect.

But detectives have ruled it an accident and ended the investigation.

Greater Manchester Police said: “While the circumstances are tragic, we don’t believe any criminality was linked to this death.”

This week, Blackpool FC manager Bruce spoke for the first time about the heartbreaking loss, saying “there’s still not a day where it doesn’t affect you”.

He added: “It’s been the tragedy of all tragedies.

“Anyone going through the same sort of grief, I feel for them.

“It’s horrendous that a fine, young, healthy baby boy doesn’t wake up one morning.

“We’ll never come to terms with that. It’s agony.”
