London hospital halts treatment after parents lose legal fight to postpone withdrawal of life support
Archie Battersbee, the 12-year-old boy whose parents fought a long-running legal battle to prevent his life support treatment from being removed, has died, his mother has said outside the Royal London hospital.
Archie’s parents, Hollie Dance and Paul Battersbee, in recent days made applications to the high court, court of appeal and European court of human rights (ECHR) to have him transferred to a hospice to die.
