Isaiah Haastrup, the profoundly brain-damaged baby boy at the centre of a right-to-life legal battle, has died, his father has said.
Doctors removed him from life-support on Wednesday after a last-resort appeal to the European court of human rights (ECHR) was refused on Tuesday. He received palliative care only after his extubation.
His father, Lanre Haastrup, and mother, Takesha Thomas, both 36, from south London, had unsuccessfully fought an application by King’s College hospital to withdraw life-sustaining treatment from their son, aged one, who had been on life support since birth.
