Archie Battersbee's parents have issued a final plea to the European Court of Human Rights as their son enters his final hours.
Archie's parents said they intended to submit an application in a desperate bid to delay the withdrawal of his life support, which is due to be turned off at 11am on Wednesday.
The family held a bedside vigil at the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel overnight on Wednesday, playing Archie's favourite songs and TV shows, according to MailOnline. However, after considering the matter, three judges refused to postpone the withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment beyond midday on Tuesday.A panel of three justices concluded the Court of Appeal "made the correct decision".
