The 26 year old woman was put on life support over three weeks ago.
The mother of two was 15 weeks pregnant when she was pronounced clinically dead after suffering serious brain trauma.
However doctors refused to turn off the life support, against the wishes of her family – as they were concerned about the constitutional rights of the unborn foetus.
Today a panel of three High Court judges ruled that life support can be withdrawn.
They've found the entire medical evidence in this tragic case goes one way only, and that is to establish that the prospects for a successful delivery of a live baby in this case are virtually non-existent.
The judgment continues that to maintain support for the mother would be futile, deprive the woman of dignity in death and subject her family to unimaginable distress only because of fears held by medical specialists of the potential legal consequences.
The decision will not be appealed
