The High Court has ruled a boy, 12, in coma must undergo tests to see if he is brain dead.
Specialists should try to establish whether Archie Battersbee, who has not regained consciousness since suffering "catastrophic" brain damage in an incident at home more than a month ago is dead, a judge has ruled.
Mrs Justice Arbuthnot concluded that a brain-stem test would be in Archie's best interests, at a hearing in the Family Division of the High Court in London on Friday.
