Archie Battersbee's family friend condemns his 'barbaric and undignified' death 'nobody should go through'

The death of Archie Battersbee was described as "barbaric" with "absolutely nothing dignified" by a family friend. The 12-year-old passed away on Saturday after his life support was ended.

Archie was found unconscious in April after suffering a catastrophic brain injury. His parents fought to continue his life-sustaining treatment through a number of legal challenges.

The youngster sadly died on August 6 and family friend Ella Carter hit out against the manner of his death, describing Archie as having gone "completely blue" before he died in hospital.
