Comedian Russell Howard says his baby son, Felix, died shortly after his wife gave birth earlier this year. In statements shared publicly, he and his wife, Cerys, describe the loss as among the most devastating experiences of their lives.
Multiple outlets report that the couple also thanks NHS staff for their support during the period around the birth. Coverage varies mainly in emphasis and timing, with some articles describing Felix’s death as occurring “hours after birth,” while others use broader wording such as “shortly after birth.”
The Mirror and Daily Record add that Howard is launching a foundation or charity in Felix’s memory. Other reports focus more on the announcement itself and the couple’s acknowledgement of medical support. Across sources, the central points remain that Felix dies soon after birth and that the family responds by publicly reflecting on their experience and planning a memorial effort.
