— "Following tests and observations the clinical team looking after DT in London believe she is brain stem dead. The clinical team consider it necessary to establish diagnosis and confirmation of death by brain stem testing performed according to the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges 2025 Code of Practice for the Diagnosis and Confirmation of Death ('the 2025 Code'). DT's family are profoundly and deeply shocked by everything that has happened. They do not agree to the brain stem tests being undertaken here, they wish to fly DT to a hospital in Country W that can undertake such tests and withdraw treatment."
