Earlier this year, tragedy struck the family of Blackpool manager Steve Bruce when his four-month-old grandson, Madison Smith, passed away. The heartbreaking news was met with shock and sadness, as the little one was found unresponsive at his home in Bowdon, Greater Manchester on October 18 at 7am. The circumstances surrounding his death were unclear, but it was later revealed that a woman in her 40s had been arrested on suspicion of child neglect.
According to reports, Madison's parents, Amy and Matt Smith, had hired a night nanny to assist with taking care of their son. It's devastating to think that a life so young and full of promise could be taken away, and the family is understandably devastated. The Greater Manchester Police confirmed that an investigation was ongoing, and the woman in question had been released on bail while further inquiries were being made.
Madison's funeral took place on October 29, and Steve Bruce expressed his gratitude for the outpouring of support and condolences from fans and the wider community. In a statement released on October 31, he shared, "On Tuesday, we said goodbye to my grandson Madison. It has been the most difficult time for our family, and something that no family should ever have to go through. I want to thank everyone for their tributes and messages, both from the football world and beyond. It has meant a lot to us all."
As the family grieved and tried to come to terms with their loss, details surrounding the incident began to emerge. According to a source, Madison's parents were completely devastated and heartbroken by the tragedy. The morning of his passing, Matt went to check on his son and discovered that he wasn't breathing. The circumstances were unclear, and out of concern for the wellbeing of the child, the woman in charge of taking care of Madison was arrested and questioned by the police. They also examined her phone as part of their investigation.
The loss of a child is a heartbreaking and unimaginable experience for any family, and the Bruce family is no exception. They are coping with their loss the best way they can, and are grateful for the outpouring of support during this difficult time. May Madison rest in peace, and may his memory live on in the hearts of those who loved him.
