Admittedly, the future for Francesco Martinizi (the boy who was very badly burned in a fire/explosion in a Florida HBOT clinic while apparently being “treated” for Cerebral Palsy), looked quite uncertain.
As I wrote previously:
Yes, this accident (fire/explosion) is tragic, very tragic. If Francesco indeed survives the injuries he’s apparently sustained, the next couple of months are likely to be very very rough. The situation certainly isn’t helped by the fact that there probably isn’t much in the way of good scientific evidence to support the notion that little 4 year-old Francesco should have ever been in such a facility in the first place.
His future is certain now. Francesco died Thursday.

Question for commenters: What do you think about the mainstream media’s coverage of this fatality?
Poor lad. What an utter pointless waste.
Poor little guy.
This is very upsetting, I was hoping for a good outcome for him recovering from the burns. Francesco, though I know you are no longer with us, I am really very sorry that you had to go through all these weeks of intensive care, to no avail.
*sigh* Thanks for posting this, if for no other reason than this cerebrally palsied person will have something else to say the next time some crank suggests I should get it because it’ll make me all better or something. Never mind that biology doesn’t work like that, of course.
