A judge has rules life-support treatment for 12-year-old Archie Battersbee can end. Archie was found unconscious at home in Southend on 7 April.
Lawyers representing the hospital's governing trust, Barts Health NHS Trust, had told Mr Justice Hayden that Archie had suffered a "devastating" brain injury and that specialists did not believe it was in his best interests to continue treatment.
Archie's parents Hollie Dance and Paul Battersbee had argued treatment should continue for as long as his heart was beating. Mr Justice Hayden said evidence showed that Archie had suffered a "significant injury" to "multiple areas" of his brain and had not "regained awareness at any time"."But the fight, if it can properly be characterised as such, is no longer in Archie's control."
