James Delorey was rushed to the IWK Hospital in Halifax in a helicopter suffering from severe hypothermia. He was in critical condition when he arrived. Despite all the efforts of doctors, the young autistic boy James Delorey died in hospital.

Today is a very sad day not only for the family of the young autistic boy James Delorey but for everyone who was following this story or who has helped try to find the young boy. From a day of happiness and optimism once the young boy was rescued ended up in tragedy a few hours later.

Our hearts goes out to the parents and family of James Delorey at this difficult time. I speak for many as they have our deepest sympathy.
