A FAMILY have paid tribute to their "precious, beautiful and incredibly brave" baby girl who died at just two weeks-old.

Felicity May Harvey died on Monday after being taken to hospital just before 6.30pm on Friday, January 8.

Police have now launched an investigation following a report of concern from the hospital

A 24-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder and has since been released on bail pending further enquiries.

Paying tribute to Felicity-May, her family said:"Our hearts are broken after losing our precious baby girl, Felicity-May. She was a gorgeous baby and always so alert, looking around with her big blue eyes.

"She was absolutely beautiful and incredibly brave and she melted the hearts of everyone who met her. What made her extra special was her cleft lip and palate, and despite the challenges of this she was the most happy and content little girl.

"She was and always will be loved by her mum, sisters and family and there is a huge void in all our hearts and lives now that she has been taken from us.

"She was our special star, and it is not fair that she shone brightly for only a short time. When we look up at the sky, we will look through the clouds and know that the brightest star shining is our Felicity-May.

"Rest in peace baby girl. Sleep tight. Until we meet again, our precious angel."

The investigation is ongoing and a scene was in place at an address in Heywood as part of that.
