Archie Battersbee’s life support set to be switched off this morning
Sky News says Archie Battersbee’s life support is set to be switched off at 11am today, pending another last-ditch attempt by his family to postpone the move.
The parents of the brain-damaged 12-year-old had said his treatment would be brought to an end on Wednesday morning after they lost a Supreme Court bid to keep it going.
But less than two hours later, his mother, Hollie Dance, said their legal team will be submitting an application to the European Court of Human Rights by 9am in another attempt to postpone the withdrawal of his life support.
“Our solicitors will be filing to the European Court of Human Rights,” she said.
