Wife's 'relief' as her policeman husband will be allowed to die after he was left in a vegetative state in horror smash
The wife of a
policeman left in a vegetative state after a horror smash told of her
'relief' last night after it was confirmed a judge's decision to allow
doctors to stop providing life-support treatment will not be challenged
in the Court of Appeal.
Lindsey
Briggs said she is 'forever thankful' for the court ruling that PC Paul
Briggs, 43, should be taken off life support and receive palliative
care.
Mr
Briggs, a Gulf War veteran, has been in hospital since he was hit by
new driver Chelsea Rowe, 26, while he was on his motorbike in July last
year.
He suffered fractures to his spine and a bleed on the brain.
