An Alabama boy who had been dubbed "a miracle" for being born without a nose passed away last Saturday from an extremely rare health disorder.

Eli Thompson suffered from congenital arhinia, so he lacked nostrils, sinus cavities and, therefore, a sense of smell, everything caul gave him the physical appearance of not having a nose.

"We lost our little one last night," the child's father, Jeremy Finch, said in a Facebook message, adding that the family was very fortunate to have had the child in their lives. "We will never understand why things happened like this, and this will hurt deeply for a long time."

The boy was born in March 2015 presenting the rare disorder, of which - according to People - only about 40 similar cases are known in the world.

The boy's mother, Brandi McGlathery, shared the story about her story two years ago in an interview on the morning show Today (NBC). It is like any other baby. It just doesn't have a nose,”she said then.

The mother revealed that the child was otherwise healthy. Because of her situation, she had to undergo a tracheostomy to allow her to eat, which forced parents to keep their incision clean and clean it twice a day.
