A judge has rules that a 12-year-old boy suffering from brain damage is dead and his life support should end.
Archie Battersbee was being treated at the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel, east London, where doctors said he was "brain-stem dead". Archie was severely injured after taking part in an 'online challenge' on April 7.
The youngster's parents, Hollie Dance and Paul Battersbee, from Southend, Essex, say his heart is still beating and they want treatment to continue. However, Mrs Justice Abuthnot ruled on Monday that Archie was dead and doctors could lawfully stop treatment.
