The infant suffered from a rare, incurable and degenerative mitochondrial disease, which caused his cells to not produce enough energy – He was in severe pain and agony and there was no point in further treatment
Eight-month-old British baby Indy Gregory, who was disconnected from life support overnight, has died, a lawyer for her family announced today.
Gregory’s parents last month lost their legal battle to keep their child on mechanical support and to transfer it to a Vatican children’s hospital in Rome.
The infant died at 01:45 GMT (03:45 Greek time), as Simone Pilon, an Italian lawyer and former parliamentarian, who represents the Gregory family, announced through Platform X.
The infant suffered from a rare, incurable and degenerative mitochondrial disease, which it made his cells not produce enough energy.
Her doctors claimed that he suffered from intense pain and agony and there was no point in further treatment.
The English courts agreed and on Friday the final decision in the case was issued.
The infant was transferred from a Nottingham hospital on Saturday in central England at a care center where he was disconnected from the machines.
Last week the Italian government granted the little girl Italian citizenship in a desperate attempt not to be disconnected from the machines and allowed to be transported to Italy.
On Saturday he reported on the case Pope Francis saying he is praying for the child, his family and for all the children suffering from war and disease.
