A lawyer for Charlie’s parents, Connie Yates and Chris Gard, has told the High Court that “Time has run out” for their 11 month old son.
Lawyers for the parents withdrew the family’s application to travel to America for pioneering treatment after Dr Michio Hirano, the neurologist who developed the therapy, said he was no longer willing to offer Charlie the experimental treatment after reviewing results of a new MRI scan last week.
The parents will now use the funds raised for their campaign to create a foundation so that Charlie’s voice “continues to be heard.”
Our deepest condolences and heartfelt sympathies go out to Charlie’s family and to all those who felt connected to Charlie. It is a terrible loss for all of us. We wish Connie and Chris much strength, hope and courage. We all stand with you.

what an absolute Tragedy.
its been said the earlier brain scans showed he was in good order and if he had got the treatment months ago the outcome could have been so different.
now the big questions will be asked whether GOSH have caused Charlie more harm than good by not agreeing to him having the treatment and holding him in that hospital. it doesnt look good for them at this point.
This will no doubt Anger people all over the world and open new debates about state control over life and death when alternative treatments are on offer but being dismissed.
A very Sad day indeed. our thoughts are with Charlie and his parents.
the ending to this story is going to be a bitter one for shure.
