The mother of Archie Battersbee has asked a coroner to investigate whether social media app TikTok played a role in her 12-year-old son’s death.
Archie died on 6 August after his life-support machine was turned off, following a gruelling legal battle between his parents and Barts Health NHS Trust, which argued that his treatment should be withdrawn as it was “very likely” that he was brain-stem dead.
