Mr Evans and his wife, Barbara, were looking after him while his parents took Sophia to Liverpool's Alder Hey hospital, where she is being treated for coeliac disease, which means she has to follow a gluten-free diet.During the afternoon, Liam became boisterous and Mr Evans told his wife he would take him out for a while so that she could prepare his food. They were at their son's bedside last night.Det Supt Jones said the discovery of their son had been one of both "happiness and sadness"."When I broke the news to both parents I think they were torn between elation and sadness," he said. The spot where the car came to rest was hidden from the road, although police said the point where it left the carriageway could be seen.Liam was found only hours after his parents pleaded for his grandfather to contact them and said his disappearance was totally out of character.Ruth and Gary Evans said Mr Evans was devoted to the little boy and his three-year-old sister Sophia. It is remarkable how he survived."He said that there were signs that the car had rolled over. The straps on the car's child seat and the driver's seat belt were found unsecured and the driver's airbag had inflated. He had survived the crash with only cuts and scratches and was flown to Glan Clywd Hospital, near Abergele, by police helicopter.The body of 61-year-old Mr Evans, a retired police inspector, was found 20 yards further up the slope at the Horseshoe Pass, near Llangollen. Police say that it is not yet known how he died.Detective Superintendent Eric Jones of North Wales Police said it was possible that the car could have been hidden on the mountainside for two or three days.
It was eventually found by a young boy from the Wirral who was on a day out in the area - a panoramic beauty spot that attracts hundreds of visitors a day during the summer.As forensic scientists began to try to piece together a picture of what might have happened, Det Supt Jones said it was possible that Mr Evans had managed to get Liam out of the car before losing consciousness."It would appear at this early stage of the investigation that it is nothing more than a tragic accident," he said."Liam has nothing more than a few scratches. A 13-MONTH-OLD baby who disappeared three days ago was yesterday found alive on a mountainside near the body of his devoted grandfather. Liam Evans was found near his grandfather Gwilym Evans's car, which had plunged 150 yards down a steep slope at a remote spot in north-west Wales, about 50 miles from Mr Evans's home in Colwyn Bay. Liam was discovered sitting crying in thick ferns near the wrecked Vauxhall Vectra. However, the Glasgow scientists have found that only 80 of their 440 patients have the disease in both the gut and the mouth.. THE CARTOON character Homer Simpson is such a worldwide cultural icon that cases of his favourite beer - which has been banned by a judge - are changing hands at up to pounds 4,000 each.
In the week that Homer was given his very own slab in the Hollywood Walk of Fame, it emerged that fans of the patriarch of The Simpsons are dealing in rare cases of his Duff Beer on the Internet. Duff Beer was produced by the South Australian Brewing Company last year in homage to the world's most popular nuclear power-plant worker. It looks just like the beer Homer drinks, so 20th Century Fox, makers of The Simpsons, and Matt Groening, the cartoon's creator, took the brewery to court for trading off their show.An Australian judge watched several hours of the series and decided that Homer regularly consumed Duff Beer, often "in copious quantities". So brewery owner Lion Nathan was told to stop making and marketing it.The beer is now rapidly rising in price as it becomes a rarity. When it was on open sale, a case of 24 cans cost A$15 (pounds 5.60). Now a six-pack is being advertised on the Internet for A$750 and cases for up to A$6,300 each. One collector claims he can get A$1,000 a can.Homer's fondness for beer is well chronicled - one of his catchphrases is "Beer me". Roger Cooper, who offers beer for sale on the Internet, shares his passion: "I have a six-pack of Duff left unopened and the carton I bought the 24 cans in." On discovering its new value, he added plaintively: "I had a lot more but I drank it." To which Homer's reply would be: "Doh!".
