e ever met," her husband, Dylan Benson, wrote on his website.Their newborn son, Iver, i
s in a neonatal intensive care unit in Victoria, British Columbia, a hospital spokeswoman sa
id. He could be hospitalized for eight more weeks, Dylan Benson told CNN on Tuesday."He's do
ing well, still learning to breathe and all those things. ... But he's the cutest little man

urned, she was unresponsive, but still breathing.At the hospital, doctors discovered she suf
fered a brain hemorrhage. She was later declared brain-dead.The situation left Dylan Benson

ath of his wife.The case drew some comparisons to the case of Marlise Muñoz in Texas, a
