| Description | LONDON (AP) — The disabled 6-year-old son of Britain's top opposition leader David Cameron died Wednesday, the Conservative Party said.
Ivan Cameron had cerebral palsy and Ohtahara syndrome, a rare and severe form of epilepsy. He was the eldest of three children of Cameron and his wife Samantha.
Cameron, 42, is widely expected to become Britain's next prime minister. His party consistently leads Prime Minister Gordon Brown's Labour Party in opinion polls.
The Conservative Party said in a statement that Ivan became ill overnight and died early Wednesday in a London hospital.
The Cameron family asked for their privacy to be respected "at this very difficult time."
Brown sent his condolences, saying "the death of a child is a loss no parent should have to bear." |
