Archie Battersbee's mother believes her son died after accidentally falling from the banister at their home and suffering a neck injury, an inquest heard today.
The 12-year-old's life support was withdrawn on August 6 last year after his parents, Hollie Dance and Paul Battersbee, failed in bids to overturn a High Court ruling that doctors could lawfully do so.
Judges were told Ms Dance found Archie unconscious with a ligature over his head at home in Southend, Essex, on April 7 last year.
