Det Supt Phil Duffy said his officers' thoughts were "very much with the baby girl's family"

A third person has been arrested following the death of a baby who suffered a "medical episode" at a nursery in May.

The eight-month-old girl, who was at a nursery in Cheadle Hulme, Greater Manchester, was taken to hospital where she later died.

Two people were arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter.

A third person was held this month on suspicion of child neglect and has been bailed, Greater Manchester Police said.

The nursery was temporarily closed after the baby's death and its registration suspended by the education regulator Ofsted.

The provider has now closed the nursery.
