An investigation by Sheffield United into the demise of Maddy Cusack has discovered there was “no evidence of wrongdoing”.
The 27-year-old, who tragically handed away again in September, was the Blades’ longest serving participant, turning into the primary for the membership to achieve 100 appearances for his or her ladies’s group. On September 20, Cusack was discovered useless at her house in Horsley, Derbyshire.
At the time, police stated there was no suspicious circumstances surrounding her demise. The membership then appointed an impartial third get together to steer an investigation into Cusack’s demise, and points and issues that had been raised by her household about inner conduct.
A transferring assertion from Cusack’s mom, Deborah, detailed how soccer broke the Blades’ star’s spirit. It learn: “My beautiful daughter, Madeleine. The saddest and most utterly heart-breaking reason why I am having to stand here and speak to you today is because of football.
“From February this 12 months, the indomitable, irrepressible spirit, the spirit referred to as Maddy, the spirit that we had so fiercely protected, was allowed to be damaged, taking her away from me.”
