Update: Archie Battersbee, the 12-year-old British boy whose parents fought to keep him on life support, has died, reports the Independent. Per Sky News, a spokeswoman for the family said Archie, who’d been in a coma since April, was taken off his medication at Royal London Hospital at 10am local time, and that “his stats remained stable until two hours later when they removed the ventilation.” She added: “We hope no family has to go through what we went through.

In an interview on Friday, Dance told Sky that “I’ve done everything that I promised my little boy I’d do.
