Alfie Evans, a terminally ill British toddler whose case drew attention from Pope Francis and others around the world, has died, his parents announced Saturday morning. Parents Kate James, 20, and Tom Evans, 21, wrote on Facebook that they were “absolutely heartbroken” that they had lost their son. Alfie developed an incurable degenerative brain condition and was at the center of a legal battle over his treatment. The hospital withdrew Alfie's life support Monday after a series of court rulings sided with doctors who said continuing Alfie's treatment was "not in Alfie's best interests." Justice Anthony Hayden, a U.K. judge, said the ruling represented "the final chapter in the life of this extraordinary boy."
