Alfie's dead...
LONDON — Alfie Evans, the terminally ill British toddler who was at the center of a protracted legal battle, died on Saturday morning, his parents said.
His mother, Kate James, posted on a Facebook page dedicated to his case, Alfie’s Army, “Our baby boy grew his wings tonight at 2:30 a.m. We are heartbroken.”
His father, Thomas Evans, also posted on social media, “My gladiator lay down his shield and gained his wings at 2.30 a.m. Absolutely heartbroken.”
Alfie, 23 months old, had a rare degenerative brain condition that his doctors said was incurable. He had been in a semi-vegetative state for more than a year. Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in Liverpool, England, where he had been getting treatment, concluded it would be futile to treat him further.
