FULL TITLE: Alfie Evans' father spent last 10 minutes of his son's life desperately trying to revive him with mouth-to-mouth, family reveals, as supporters claim they have seen tragic boy's face in a cloud

Alfie Evans' dad battled to keep his son alive with mouth-to-mouth before being forced to accept he could not save him, it has emerged.

Family members have revealed how Tom, 21, was 'blowing and blowing' as he tried to resuscitate Alfie for ten minutes in the early hours of Saturday.

The 23-month-old who was at the centre of a legal battle by his parents to take him out of the UK for treatment died at about 2.30am.

Alfie's parents Tom and Kate James, 20, spent their final moments as a family lying in bed with their son, falling asleep together after he finally lost his battle against a rare degenerative disease.

A relative told the Mirror: 'It had been a really hard day as Alfie had been struggling to breathe from the early morning.

'He picked up and we thought everything was going to be OK.

'But at around 1.30am we got a call telling us to get back to the hospital.'

Meanwhile, more than one thousand mourners gathered to pay their respects after the news of his tragic death was revealed over Facebook.

As his parents, Tom and Kate, both from Liverpool, mourned inside Alder Hey Hospital, family members, friends and supporters consoled one another outside.

What a pitiful excuse for a hospital.

“...after he finally lost his battle against a rare degenerative disease.”

Those lying bastards. He lost his battle with the British Government and courts, who decided he must die, and die now.

I hope every single person who participated in killing this kid burns in hell.

I’ll say it again, this would never have happened if Alfie was one of the royals.

The Queen is also head of the Church of England.

So where is her comment on all of this?

Probably will be arrested and charged with interfering with government imposed death.

Heart goes out to all of them, although we know Alfie is a better place.

But also, having had pneumonia, it’s frightening and exhausting to struggle to breathe. Poor little guy. What a way to go.

I can’t imagine how heartbroken these parents and their family must be. God bless them.

Needless tragedy brought on by the state treating a human being as their property, against the wishes of the parents and when the state was offered reasonable alternatives elsewhere for the child’s assistance. The NHS hospital’s plans were bad enough, but the denial to let the child go elsewhere clinched their lack of human morality.

Alfie is playing at the feet of Jesus today, healthy, happy and content. Those who tried to save him will see him again. Those who are responsible for his death will also see him again, sitting on the knee of the Lord. Alfie will be happy, God will not be nor will those killers once they hear their judgement.

I’m surprised that National Homicide Service didn’t have him arrested.

If this was Prince Louis, I bet the outcome would be much different.

It’s good to be the future king. For everyone else in Britain, not so much.
