The mum of critically ill Archie Battersbee has revealed how she sat by his hospital bed to break the devastating news that doctors had been given the green light to turn off his life-support machine.
Hollie Dance, 46, recounted the devastating meeting with her son, 12, during which she whispered to him: “Archie, we’ve lost this fight, but we won’t give up, we’ll keep fighting.”
It followed a High Court ruling that he would never recover from an online “blackout challenge” which left him in a 10-week coma.
