00:00A five-year-old boy from Liverpool has died after being diagnosed with meningitis just 24 hours earlier.
00:08Jude Platz had been unwell, which his family believed was a stomach bug.
00:12Later, he suffered a seizure and was taken to hospital.
00:16Doctors initially suspected a stroke.
00:19Scans later confirmed streptococcal pneumonia meningitis.
00:22His family say he was given a 5% chance of survival and did not respond to treatment.
00:27After no brain activity was found, his parents made the difficult decision to withdraw life support.
00:33The family is now raising money via GoFundMe to give Jude the best send-off.
00:38His brother said, we want to go all out and make sure he is remembered.
