Alder Hey Children's Hospital, where<unk><unk>  was treated from December 2016 until his death. In November 2016, at six months of age,<unk><unk>  was reviewed at the general pediatric outpatient clinic at Alder Hey Children's Hospital. He was found to be functioning in a range appropriate for a 6-week to 2-month-old infant. On 14 December 2016,<unk>  was admitted to Alder Hey Accident and Emergency Department with a history of coughing, high temperature, and a reported episode of rhythmic jerking of his jaw and all four limbs. On 15 December, he showed sudden unprovoked movements compatible with infantile/epileptic spasms. An EEG performed on 16 December 2016 confirmed hypsarrhythmia. A further EEG was taken in January 2017 and "was markedly different, showing attenuation with little in the way of reactive response for protracted periods of time. Changes only really occurred when<unk>  had an epileptic seizure."<unk> 's parents wished to remove him from Alder Hey and seek further care at the Bambino Gesù Hospital in Rome. In September 2017, Italian doctors from Bambino Gesù Hospital produced an assessment report on the possibility of transferring<unk>  to Italy. According to their report on the<unk> , they could offer prolonged ventilator support, with a surgical tracheostomy and would remove a nasogastric tube, replacing it with a gastrostomy. During assessment,<unk>  suffered "epileptic seizures induced by proprioceptive stimuli", which the report warned was "due to stimulations related to the transportation and flight, those seizures might induce further damage to the brain, putting the whole procedure of transportation at risk."<unk>  remained in Alder Hey Hospital for the duration of 2017, with no improvement in his condition. At the end of the year, the hospital applied to have life support switched off.
