Archie Battersbee has died after his life support was turned off on Saturday, the 12-year-old’s mother has said.
Speaking outside the Royal London Hospital, Hollie Dance said he had “fought right until the very end”, adding: “I am so proud to be his mum.” She said he had died at 12.15pm.
Speaking on her behalf Ellie Carter, a close family friend, said: “For a child to suffocate like that… no family should ever go through what we have gone through. It’s barbaric.”
As his life drew to a close on Saturday, his family having exhausted all legal routes to keeping him alive, well-wishers gathered to show sympathy.
