A "superhero" four-year-old little boy has tragically died after a long battle with a rare type of brain cancer.
Nova Yates died in the arms of his heartbroken parents Heather and Danny Yates on the morning of Wednesday, November 9, around 9.45am. The little boy, said to be "the most loveable", began to lose his balance at age two and his face started to droop.
Nova, who leaves behind his older sister, was rushed to Leeds Children's Hospital and underwent an agonising 10-hour brain operation which left him unable to walk or eat. The "brightest star" went through a gruelling 18 months of chemotherapy, as well as six weeks of radiotherapy and people put under general anaesthetic every night.
