HISTORICAL FACTS: Parents heartbroken after perfect baby boy dies - The Untold Story

The heartbroken parents of a baby boy have paid tribute to their "perfect" son.

Chloe Bakewell, 25, and Alex Price, 31, from Ellesmere Port, found out during Chloe's 20 week anatomy scan there was an issue with their baby's heart. After a further scan at Liverpool Women's Hospital it was confirmed baby Amias had Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS).

His parents were told Amias' particular case "was a 10 out 10 in severity". HLHS is a birth defect that affects normal blood flow through the heart. As the baby develops during pregnancy, the left side of the heart does not form correctly.
