According to Life Site News, Alfie Evans (allegedly) died within hours of receiving four different drugs from a nurse at Alder Hey hospital. (This information was obtained via two different sources with connections to the Evans family.)

“According to Italian newspaper La Nuova Bussola Quotidiana, a nurse entered the child’s cubicle after his father Tom had been called aside and gave him four drugs. A source close to the family told LifeSiteNews that these were injections that were administered to Alfie after Tom had been summoned for an unusual middle-of-the-night meeting with the hospital. The child died two hours later.”1

It is unclear why the (alleged) injections were given and thus far the Evans family has not commented on this new development. However, they might not be able to, either. According to La Nuova Bussola, Alfie was given additional life support in exchange for a promise from Tom that he would not speak to the press anymore. Perhaps that’s why the day before Alfie died, his father read a rather “forced” statement out to all of Alfie’s supporters, suggesting they go home and thanked the staff, even though hours earlier he had attempted to have them charged with conspiracy to murder his son?

If this is proved to be true, this is disgusting and the hospital must be called to account. 

RELATED STORY:

Medical advisors to LifeSiteNews have suggested that an independent toxicology report is performed. I think we’d all like to see that.

“Alder Hey hospital doctors had previously conveyed to the Evans’ family in a legal document how they intended to use a drug cocktail that included Midazolam and Fentanyl as part of Alfie’s ‘end of life care plan.’ Side effects of the drugs included respiratory depression. Tom Evans called it an ‘execution plan’ for his son.”2

However, nowhere in the plan were 4 injections. What were the other two?

On the evening of April 23rd, Alfie was suddenly removed from the ventilator he had been on for 15 months and his life-support tubes. Even though he hadn’t been breathing on his own for that long and had a lung infection that needed antibiotics, he managed to breathe on his own for more than 100 hours. (He also went for 36 hours without nutrition of any kind, either. Why isn’t this considered murder?)

RELATED STORY:

But then, according to Nuova Bussola reporter, Benedetta Frigerio, who helped set up the appointment between Tom Evans and Pope Francis:

“Two hours before death, [Alfie’s] oxygen saturation was at around 98, and Alfie’s heartbeat was around 160, so Thomas was convinced that he would be allowed to go home (as the hospital administration had told him on Friday afternoon).

Before he died, while Tom was away for a moment, leaving Kate [Alfie’s mother] half-asleep and another family member in the room, a nurse entered and explained that she would give the child four drugs (no-one knows which) to treat him.

After about 30 minutes the [oxygen] saturation had fallen to 15. After two hours Alfie was dead.”3

There are far too many unanswered questions surrounding this toddler’s death. And our hearts are still breaking for his family. We will be watching this and hoping more truth comes to light and that the hospital is finally called to count for this sweet boys death.
