ARCHIE Battersbee passed away in hospital yesterday after having his life-support treatment withdrawn.
The 12-year-old died at 12.15 pm - just over two hours after doctors stopped his care.
He had not regained consciousness after being found with a ligature around his neck on April 7.
On Friday, after five months of emotionally-charged legal battles over Archie's care, the boy's family lost a last-ditch appeal to have him moved to a hospice.
Archie's heartbroken mum Hollie Dance, 46, yesterday announced his death at Royal London Hospital, in Whitechapel.
Wiping away tears as she addressed reporters, she said: "I would just like to say I am the proudest mum in the world.
"He was such a beautiful boy. He fought right until the very end."
