In May 2013, the severely malnourished boy was rushed to hospital but later died from sepsis and untreated diabetes.Court heard they had refused to accept Alex had diabetes when he was initially diagnosed with the disease in 2000 while living in British Columbia.The family moved to Alberta in 2008.
