The conflicting dates given for celebrity Anne Heche's death reflect a culture trying to redefine what it means to die.

The schoolboy passed away in hospital at 12.15pm yesterday surrounded by his family after his life-support treatment was withdrawn at 10am.

After a weeks-long battle, Archie Battersbees life support will be withdrawn today, campaign group Christian Concern said. His family lost a last-ditch battle to move him to a hospice yesterday.

Archie Battersbee has passed away in hospital surrounded by his family after life-support treatment was withdrawn at 10am this morning.

Lawyers for 12-year-old Archie Battersbees family took part in an hours-long legal hearing on Thursday, with the court in London sitting until late in the evening.

The High Court judgment is yet another blow to the family, who say he deserves to have his life support removed away from the noise and lack of privacy in the Royal London Hospital.

The family of Archie Battersbee are spending precious time with him after they were told his life-sustaining treatment will be withdrawn at 10am on Saturday.

Speaking after judges in Strasbourg refused an application to keep him on life support, his mother Hollie Dance admitted a dignified passing at a hospice was all she had left to fight for.

Archie Battersbees life support will be removed at 11am this morning unless his family can appeal again to the European Court of Human Rights, having spent the night holding a vigil for their son.
