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.
