Court Fight: Tom Evans and Brain Function

court fight: Alfie's condition left him with almost no brain function, and multiple courts ruled that keeping him alive was not in his best interests before doctors removed his ventilator five days ago, according to The Chronicle Herald. My gladiator lay down his shield and gained his wings at 02 30, Evans, 21, wrote in a Facebook post decorated with a broken heart and crying emojis. Kate James and Tom Evans said their son's death overnight in Liverpool, England had left them heartbroken. As news spread in the community, dozens of people laid flowers and mementoes in a park near Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool, where Alfie was treated. James, 20, posted a message on social media thanking everyone who supported the family through Alfie's illness and court fight. About 1,000 people gathered 12 hours after the boy died to release blue and purple balloons in solidarity with the grieving mother and father who had struggled to come to terms with their child's terminal illness.
