'He absolutely loved life' - Bedlington boy, 12, with 'infectious' smile passes away during surgery

A 12-year-old boy with an "infectious" grin passed away during an operation to try and save his life.

Bradley James George Tweedy couldn't talk or eat but he charmed those around him with his massive smile. The youngster, from Bedlington, Northumberland, was born with a number of health conditions and spent the first year of his life in hospital.

When he arrived in the world six weeks early, he was diagnosed with a diaphragmatic hernia - which caused the organs in his abdomen to move up into the right side of his chest. He was also born with two oesophagus conditions.
