Corrections needed:

(1) It's not "euthanasia" (unlawful in UK) but stopping treatment in best interests. Expert witness (Dr Pullicino) for family seeking continued treatment was clear when asked in court if he considered this euthanasia. He said: "No."
(2) "they had shown a neurologist a video of their brother, and he had told them that his condition might improve"

If this is the Polish neurologist named in court, we were told that the report of this neurologist was the same as the English neurologists.
(3)" it was stated that the man ... was in a coma. His sister rejects this statement."

It was stated that the man was in the process of transitioning from 'coma' to a 'vegetative' state. He is now vegetative. Some definitions (+ family experiences) https://healthtalk.org/family-experiences-vegetative-and-minimally-conscious-states/what-is-a-coma-and-what-is-a-vegetative-state
