    Alfie Evans, the 23-month-old toddler at the centre of a High Court legal battle, has died, nearly a week after his life support was withdrawn.

    The boy from Merseyside, who had a degenerative brain condition, died at 02:30 BST, his father Tom Evans said.

    On Facebook he wrote: "My gladiator lay down his shield and gained his wings... absolutely heartbroken."

    Alfie's parents lost legal challenges against a High Court ruling allowing the hospital to withdraw ventilation.

    The boy had his life support withdrawn on Monday after being in a semi-vegetative state for more than a year.

    The legal campaign, launched by Mr Evans and Alfie's mother Kate James, attracted widespread media attention and saw them clash with doctors over the child's treatment.

    A statement from Alder Hay...

    We wish to express our heartfelt sympathy and condolences to Alfie’s family at this extremely distressing time.

    All of us feel deeply for Alfie, Kate, Tom and his whole family and our thoughts are with them.

    This has been a devastating journey for them and we would ask that their privacy and the privacy of staff at Alder Hey is respected.

    Thank goodness that poor child is finally at rest. I hope his father has the decency to discontinue proceedings against the doctors who worked so hard to help him.
