The family of a comatose British boy at the centre of a life-support battle said Wednesday that it has appealed to the European Court of Human Rights in a last-ditch bid to stop a hospital ending his treatment.

Archie Battersbee, 12, was found unconscious at home with a ligature over his head on April 7. His parents believe he may have been taking part in an online challenge that went wrong.Doctors believe Archie is brain-stem dead and say continued life-support treatment is not in his best interests.

Archie's mother, Hollie Dance, said the family's lawyers submitted an application to the European human rights court hours before the hospital planned to begin withdrawing Archie's life support on Wednesday morning.
