Story highlights Hospital says there is "new evidence relating to potential treatment" for the boyTop European court ruled last week that hospital can discontinue life support(CNN) The London hospital caring for 11-month-old Charlie Gard has requested a new hearing to consider "fresh evidence" about a possible treatment for his rare condition. The hospital said in a statement Friday that it "applied to the (UK's) High Court for a fresh hearing in the case of Charlie Gard in light of claims of new evidence relating to potential treatment for his condition." On June 30, the European Court of Human Rights decided that Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children can discontinue life support to the baby. They had already raised the money for the treatment and been in touch with an unnamed physician in the US. Charlie will die from his illness, his doctors have said.
