A man has been charged with murder after a toddler died from unexplained injuries.
Michael Wild, 28, from Wythenshawe, is due to appear at Manchester and Salford magistrates court on Saturday, Greater Manchester police said.
Ella-Rose Clover, 22 months old, was taken by ambulance to hospital on Sunday afternoon after reports she was having a “medical episode”.
The toddler was pronounced dead after medics were unable to save her life. A postmortem examination revealed the child had unexplained injuries and an investigation was launched.
Her mum, Pagan Clover, said: “Mine, my family and friends’ world has been torn apart by the loss of our beautiful Ella-Rose.
“Ella was the funniest, cheekiest and most lovable little girl and none of our lives will ever be the same again.
“We are broken beyond words and would ask that our privacy is respected at this most difficult time and we are allowed to grieve in peace.”
Police said a 34-year-old woman who was arrested has been released on bail pending further inquiries.
