Baby Born Without a Nose Dies after 2 Years Old

Eli Thompson — the boy who was born in 2015 without a nose due to a rare condition — has died, at the age of 2, in his home state of Alabama.

“We lost our little buddy last night,” Eli’s dad, Jeremy Finch of Mobile, Ala., posted on Facebook Sunday, along with the link to an article about the boy’s death in AL.com. “I’ll never be able to make sense of why this happened, and this will hurt deeply for a long time.”
