Great Ormond Street Hospital has apologised after the parents of a young boy with cancer overheard "abhorrent" staff joking about the Grim Reaper.
During his short life, Raffy Holliday, 3, had leukaemia three times, pancreatitis, a blood clot, a bleed between his brain and skull, and two massive seizures.
His parents, Imogen and James, had recently made the heart-wrenching decision to end active treatment for the toddler.
