" ......... ~ Baby Jeremy dies Intelligencer Staff Canadian Press An attempt by doctors to seal off an abnormal blood vessel in the brain of Belleville infant Jeremy Jonk is over. Hans Jonk, father of the two-week- old Bellevile baby, told The In- telligencer this morning that his in- fant son had died during the night. Earlier, an attempt by doctors Fri- day to seal off the blood vessel had left the infant in grave condition, a spokesman at the Hospital for Sick Children said. "He died at 4 a.m. this morning," said Hans Jonk, tersely from his Sidney Street home. Jeremy had undergone procedures to cure his condition by doctors who used a special polymer glue to cor- rect the blood vessel defect. Dr. Pierre LasJaunas, a world ex- pert who flew from Paris last week to lead the surgical team, completed the second of the delicate two-stage procedure.
