A little boy who won the support of Kim Kardashian, Mark Wahlberg, Will Ferrell and Tom Brady as he battled a fatal brain tumor has died just nine months after being diagnosed.

Devin Suau was a healthy six-year-old when he fell off his snowboard in early February.

His parents James and Christine took him to the hospital to check that he wasn’t concussed.  

To their horror, the scan revealed he was not concussed; he had an inoperable brain tumor known as Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG).

Doctors told the parents-of-four from Framingham, Massachusetts, that, at most, their youngest child Devin would live two years.  

His family launched a campaign with the hashtag #whynotdevin to bolster funding for research, which was shared and supported by celebrities including Kim Kardashian and basketball team the Boston Celtics.

Today, his family informed their millions of well-wishers that Devin had passed away.
