Archie’s mother, Hollie Dance, finds him unconscious at her home in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, with a ligature around his neck, which leads her to believe he may have been doing an online challenge that went wrong. He is taken to hospital with traumatic head injuries.
Barts Health, the NHS trust in charge of Archie’s care at the Royal London hospital, starts proceedings in the high court to test his brain stem and to withdraw mechanical ventilation. Doctors believe it is “highly likely” that the child is in effect dead and that it is in his best interests to stop life-support treatment. But Archie’s parents, Dan...
Mrs Justice Arbuthnot, a high court judge, rules that a brain stem test would be in Archie’s best interests.
In the family division of the high court, Arbuthnot oversees three days of evidence and argument about Archie’s treatment. According to doctors, it is “very likely” that he is “brain-stem dead” but lawyers representing his family argue that his heart is beating and that they want to continue with care.
The high court judge rules that Archie is dead and that doctors can legally stop his treatment, but Archie’s family say they will appeal.
Archie’s parents are “delighted” after three appeal judges rule that evidence relating to what is in Archie’s best interests should be reconsidered by another high court judge.
Mr Justice Hayden hears evidence in the high court from doctors that carrying on Archie’s treatment will simply “delay the inevitable”. But Dance says he is a “natural-born fighter” and asks doctors to continue their care.
Hayden rules in favour of the hospital trust, saying: “There can be no hope at all of recovery.” Archie’s parents say they will seek for his decision to be overturned by the court of appeal.
Andrew McFarlane, the president of the high court’s family division and the most senior family court judge in England and Wales, and two other judges are told in a hearing that Archie is in a “comatose state”.
The three court of appeal judges rule that doctors can stop providing life support to Archie, after which his family say they will appeal to the European court of human rights (ECHR).
