Police will not charge a 36-year-old man arrested in connection with the death of 18-month-old baby Ryan Onley.
Ryan died on May 31 after being taken to Southend Hospital for treatment.
The man is now being interviewed as a witness in the case.
The baby's mother, Hayley Onley, 20, of London Road, Hadleigh, has been charged with her son's murder and has already appeared before Chelmsford Crown Court. She has been remanded in custody until August 26.
Since the news of the toddler's death spread through south Essex, people have come from all around to lay tributes outside the flat where he lived.
