A photo has been shared of a two-year-old boy with his parents at Christmas before he died in a medical episode at a nursery. Little Jude Gerrard - who his parents nicknamed Judie - was taken to hospital on January 14 following an incident at Early Learners Day Nursery, in Bootle, Merseyside, but he later died.
His death is currently being treated as unexplained and inquiries are ongoing to establish the circumstances of the incident. His parents Rebekah and Charlie have spoken about how their "sweet baby boy" "deserved so, so much more". They said: “This is our sweet baby boy, Jude Gerrard. We are absolutely heart broken and devastated beyond words by this shocking and unexpected loss of the love of our lives. I know all parents think this about their own children, but Jude truly was so incredibly special.
"Everybody who ever met him couldn’t help but instantly love him, and he had so much love for everyone too, even if he’d pretend to web you like Spider-Man or wrestle you like Hulk Hogan. Our lives will never be the same again, he really was too good to be true and we can’t believe he has been taken away from us like this, with something so preventable. He deserved so, so much more.
"We count ourselves so lucky we got to be his mummy and daddy for two and a half years, even though he should have had so much more time. Please respect our privacy as we process and grieve this unimaginable loss and the police continue to investigate what happened to our amazing, beautiful, caring boy, Judie.”.
