Grant John Storey-Delaney had cocaine and cannabis in his system when he was found dead in his baby bouncer by mum Sophie Riley, a coroner heard. The four-month-old was 'turning grey with a blanket over his face' when checked by Ms Riley in the early hours at the home in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, on February 22, 2021. Paramedics were called, but tragically Grant was pronounced dead, Manchester Evening News reports. The court was told distressing evidence of the conditions police were met with after attending the house, with "rubbish strewn over the floor", the boiler set at 80 degrees and cat litter trays filled with faeces and urine. Detective Inspector Maxwell told Rochdale coroners court the house was "one of the worst addresses" she had ever been in during her 29 years of service. The inquest heard a post-mortem found a scab on the infant's head which was "unlikely to have been caused by his own movements", although did not contribute to his death. The examination found several factors were likely to have contributed to Grant's death, including the warm temperature in the house which was measured at 26C by police, as well as the drugs in his system, and the baby bouncer which was described as "not a safe long term sleeping position for a child", either "in isolation or combined". Ms Riley and Grant's father, Steven Delaney, were both initially arrested on suspicion of child neglect, but were bailed pending further enquiries, the inquest heard. Giving evidence, DI David Crewe said upon admission to custody, mum Sophie Riley had commented: "I'm not going to lie I have had coke before but never around Grant".
