A one-year-old boy at the centre of a legal battle over whether his life-sustaining care should continue has died after a British High Court judge ruled his treatment should stop.
Ayden Braqi suffered from a severe, progressive and irreversible neuromuscular disease for which there is no known cure.
Lawyers for Great Ormond Street Hospital in London, where he was being cared for, argued the burden of treatment outweighed the limited benefits he could enjoy from prolonging his life - while his mother opposed the bid, saying he still smiled despite his condition.
The High Court ruled it was not in Ayden's interests to continue his treatment and his life support was turned off on Thursday.
