Hayley
Okines, the courageous 17-year-old from England with a rare and fatal
condition that prematurely aged her body nearly eight times faster than
normal, passed away Thursday night. Her mother, Kerry, posted the
announcement on Facebook: "My baby girl has gone somewhere better. She
took her last breath in my arms at 9.39pm x."
Hayley,
who penned the autobiography Old Before My Time at the age of 14 and
was known as Britain's 100-year-old teenager (her body had aged to 104
at the time of her death), suffered from Hutchinson Gilford Progeria
Syndrome, also known as HGPS or Progeria.
