A case that broke a nation's hearts: Archie Battersbee dies after parents lose fight to save son
It is the case that broke the hearts of a nation. After almost four months in a coma and a legal battle between his parents and doctors, Archie Battersbee has died.
All that was keeping him alive was a combination of medical interventions, including ventilation and drug treatments. The tragic case has touched the hearts of millions across the UK as Archie's parents fought a long-running legal battle over the withdrawal of treatment. In recent days his family made bids to the High Court, Court of Appeal and European Court of Human Rights to have him transferred to a hospice insisting they should be allowed to choose where he takes his last moments.
