Archie Battersbee’s life support to be withdrawn on Saturday morning
The mother of Archie Battersbee has said she has done everything she promised her son she would do as the family prepares for his life support to be withdrawn on Saturday morning.
In an interview with Sky News, recorded on Friday, Dance, of Southend-on-Sea in Essex, said she was “pretty broken”. The European court said the complaints “fell outside the scope” of the rule the appeal was made under and so it would not intervene. Archie’s parents attempted to appeal partly on the basis that Theis did not allow an application for expert evidence from “Dr R”, a consultant in paediatric respiratory medicine, which they made just before Thursday’s hearing.
Archie has been in a coma since 7 April when he suffered a catastrophic brain injury. His mother believes he choked while taking part in a viral social media challenge. On Wednesday, the Strasbourg court refused to intervene in the case, which was his parents’ last hope of preventing his life support being removed.
