On reflection, I would not wish the thread to be diverted on the basis of an observation of mine - valid though i believe it to be.
To reiterate, I cannot begin to imagine the pain this little lad's family must be feeling, to lose their little one through what is clearly the hand of fate, nothing more.
I always think that, for any tragic loss, people can comfort themselves with the thought of chance being involved, but something as rare as this makes the futility of his loss even harder to comprehend.
