David Cameron's 6-year-old son dies

The British opposition leader David Cameron's six-year-old son has died this morning at St Mary's Hospital, located in Paddington, London, the BBC News Website has reported today.

Cameron's six-year-old son Ivan Cameron, suffered of cerebral palsy and epilepsy. 

Many people have sent their condolences to Mr. Cameron. Among them was the British PM - Gordon Brown - who have said (the BBC News Channel has reported today): " I know that in an all too brief life, he (Ivan) brought joy to all those around him and I know also for all the days of his life, he was surrounded by his family's love."

I agree with Mr. Brown's statement when he said that nobody has to go through such a tragic event. Mr. Brown himself knows what it feels like to loose a child. In 2006 Mr. Brown's daughter - Jennifer Jane - died 10 days after she was born in 2002.

I sincerely send my condolences to Mr. Cameron and his family. This is a very sad time for the Cameron family and shows everyone - even such a strong politician like David Cameron - has to deal with personal issues and family problems.
