LONDON - A UK court on Monday ruled to end life support for a 12-year-old boy despite opposition from his parents and a last-minute intervention by the United Nations.

The Court of Appeal in London decided doctors can switch off life support for Archie Battersbee from 12pm on Tuesday.

Archie's mother, Ms Hollie Dance, discovered him unconscious at home in April with signs he had placed a ligature over his head, possibly after taking part in an online asphyxiation challenge. As a last resort, Archie's parents applied to the United Nations and the UN Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
