Family 'devastated and numb' as boy, 9, dies a day after breaking his arm

A family has been left devastated after a "happy and smiling" little boy died a day after breaking his arm. Coby Kilgour was just nine years old.

A fan of Liverpool FC, Coby was only eight months old when he was taken to hospital with a broken leg. When he was three, doctors realised the cause of the fracture was Gorham-Stout Disease.

It is a rare bone disorder that is characterised by bone loss. As a result, Coby suffered multiple broken bones through his short life and had to undergo many operations and treatments.
