James Frey Son Died?

Author James Frey's son died. He wrote a very touching essay on losing his young son. Frey writes:

"When I think of (RED), I think of Leo, and I think of the children who are dying. I think of the pain and misery their families will feel when they are gone. I think of what my wife and I have felt and lived with and experienced and I never want anyone else to have to experience the same things."

What did his son die from?

In July James Frey's son Leo was 11-day-old and died of a genetic neuromuscular disorder.
"The last three years have been surreal and difficult and at times uncomfortable and at times terrible," says Frey. "But at this point, I'm cool with all of it, at peace with all of it. The priorities now are taking care of my family and producing the best work of my life."

Poor James Frey. I can't even imagine what it's like to lose a son.
