Archie Battersbee's family meet 9am deadline in bid to move him to hospice for final days | ITV News
The family of 12-year-old Archie Battersbee have submitted an appeal to be allowed to move him to a hospice where he can spend "his last moments". Following the rejection by the European Court of Human Rights of their last-ditch bid to postpone the withdrawal of his life support, the family has filed an application to the High Court in London to transfer him out of the Royal London Hospital. The 12-year-old has been in a comatose state with catastrophic brain damage since being found unconscious at home in Southend on 7 April. • Subscribe to ITV News on YouTube: http://bit.ly/2lOHmNj • Get breaking news and more stories at http://www.itv.com/news Follow ITV News on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/itvnews/ Follow ITV News on Twitter: https://twitter.com/itvnews Follow ITV News on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itvnews/
