DARWIN, Australia (AP) - A judge ruled Wednesday that a hospital can remove a car accident victim from life support against his family's wishes, saying the patient was unlikely to recover.
Paulo Melo, 29, from Darwin on Australia's north coast, suffered brain and spinal injuries in a car accident on Dec. 5.
His family obtained a temporary injunction in the Northern Territory Supreme Court Tuesday preventing the Royal Darwin Hospital from switching off the life support system that is keeping him alive.
