Teenager who fought attempts to withdraw her life support can be named

A teenager who bravely fought her doctors' attempts to withdraw her life support until her dying moment can finally be named after a gagging order was lifted.

Pictured for the first time is Sudiksha Thirumalesh – the bright 19-year-old girl who died while locked in an extraordinary legal fight with an Trust.

Until now she could only be identified as 'ST' – even after her death last week – because of draconian reporting restrictions which had shrouded her case in secrecy.
