When Lucuis Corry entered a room, the atmosphere changed - his bubbly personality and infectious smile would have brightened the darkest of days.
The five-year-old, who had Down Syndrome, gave love to anyone who crossed his path, but had a soft spot for his loving family. Lucuis, from the Market area of South Belfast, died suddenly on August 22 2022 after suffering a cardiac arrest.
Speaking to Belfast Live, Lucuis' parents Joanne and John opened up about the pain they feel each day, and determination the family has to get answers surrounding their baby boy's death.
"We had tried for so long to get pregnant, but after ten years we gave up," Joanne said.
"We didn't think it would ever happen. Then we found out we were going to be grandparents the same week we found out about our own baby. It was so exciting and we were buzzing.
"At first, John thought I was joking, that it was a wind up. When Lucuis was born, it was hard because the doctors didn't tell us he had Down Syndrome, we had to tell them that we suspected it.
