Mother of Archie Battersbee says hospital to end care soon in case that pitted parents against doctors

The family of a 12-year-old boy who has been in a coma for four months expects a London hospital to begin withdrawing life-sustaining treatment Saturday after his parents exhausted their legal options in a battle over his care.

Archie Battersbee's mother, Hollie Dance, said hospital officials informed the family they would suspend the boy's treatment at 10 a.m. British courts on Friday rejected the family's request to transfer Archie to a hospice, and the European Court of Human Rights refused for a second time to intervene in the case.

Dance told Britain's Sky News there was nothing else the family could do and she was "pretty broken" after the ordeal that began April 7, when Archie was found unconscious.
