Little Alphie needed to have an autopsy but I’m assuming they did not allow for one. It’s possible he was, in essence, murdered.
Refusing to hydrate someone for nearly a day in and of itself is attempted murder.
I read that UK law allows the parents to sue the hospital if the child was over two years old. Alice would have turned two this week I think. Thus it was imperative that he be quickly dispatched to avoid further embarrassment for the NHS and the hospital.
Yes, I believe they are that heartless.
