FULL TITLE: 'Our beautiful boy has gone': Little Charlie Gard's parents announce that their brave warrior whose plight touched the world has finally died after battling devastating genetic illness he fought for so long
Eleven-month-old Charlie Gard, whose short life captured the hearts of the world, has died a week before his first birthday.
Charlie suffered from a rare genetic condition which saw him in hospital for the majority of his short life.
His parents, Connie Yates and Chris Gard, fought a lengthy and emotional legal battle to take their severely ill baby son to the US for treatment, but were denied by judges.
Charlie's mother, Connie, said tonight: 'Our beautiful little boy has gone, we are so proud of you Charlie.'
Yesterday courts denied his parents the chance to bring their son home to die and he was taken to a hospice. Charlie's plight has seen hundreds of supporters - called Charlie's Army - lending their voices and money to see the child given treatment, with £1.35 million raised on an online fund-raising site.
Pope Francis and US president Donald Trump weighed into the debate, with the Vatican saying the pontiff prayed for 'their wish to accompany and treat their child until the end is not neglected'.

Absurd. You can come to my parent's grave site and sit with my brother and sisters if you like.
Weak defense on your part.
Murdered by the national healthcare system for the convenience of the narrative: that only the State may determine who lives, who dies, and when the murder shall take place.
No way to accommodate all the equipment.
It’s none of your business what they do with that money!
A more heartless post I’m not sure I’ve read.
That baby was most certainly murdered!
The blood of that innocent child is on the hands of EVERY SINGLE PARLIAMENT MEMBER in the UK.
God take Charlie into heaven and protect him for all eternity.
So that there would be no chance of the baby surviving, is my guess. Horrifying.
Lucky? Their baby was just murdered for being a drain on society, and you say they’re lucky, they can go out and make another, but only after “we” put them through genetic testing, to make sure they aren’t spreading bad genes.
Before he was murdered, the euthanasists wouldn’t acknowledge that his parents had collected money for his treatment, but now you not only acknowledge it, you make an issue of how it will be spent now that he’s dead, as if that too is your business and should be decided by someone other than his rightful heirs.
How long was this case tied up in court? And when did the parents first ask to move him to the US?
Defense? That’s ridiculous. You can’t pretend to know people that you’ve never met. I think people assume too much nowadays. It’s self-empowering and that’s probably why they do it.
Being a financial burden on the state is not officially a capital offense for which the perpetrator may be legally put to death. He was murdered.
I guess all children in Britain are equal.But some are more equal than others.
What you said was both cynical and mean. Did someone rip out your heart and replace it with a stone?
But first, let's see where that bad gene is coming from if we can.
Yeah let's let you decide if they can have another baby. I take it from your post that you would approve of aborting any baby that you thought was going to be a burden on you or society.
Don't mean to be cynical? There is a time to speak and a time to remain silent. Maybe you should think before you hit "post". Just because you have no heart is not an excuse for not using your brain.
This innocent baby was held against his parents expressed wishes and prevented by the state from receiving privately funded health care while all life sustaining treatment was removed. He was then deliberately suffocated to death in a state managed death facility.
Since you clearly like overusing capitalization for emphasis, I'll summarize this for you in a way you can appreciate:
Welcome to Single Payer now that McShame and Rinos went over to the Dims permanently.
Very sad.
I was hoping he could at least hold on until Thursday, which would have been his first birthday.
I hope the NHS bureaucrats are proud of themselves.
We must make Charlie Gard the face of government health care.
For those of you who are on Facebook, his mom, Connie Yates,m has a FB page. I PM<ed her to send condolences. (Beyond that, let’s let them grieve, but support from around the world is probably helpful.)
Hitler would be so proud of modern England. Imperfect humans die, or else! Charlie is in paradise playing at the feet of Jesus. His murderers will burn in hell.
If you don’t mean to be cruel, just don’t make cruel statements. You recognized what you wrote is cruel, but you did it anyway. So, indeed, you did mean to be cruel!
Prayers for Chris and Connie. Also for all the doctors and dignitaries who wanted to treat him — including President Trump.
