[sup 6]He beta decay to [alpha]+[ital d] continuum is studied in a three-body [alpha]+[ital N]+[ital N] approach. The branching ratio for beta-delayed deuteron emission is found to be (3--4)[times]10[sup [minus]5] for three-body [sup 6]He and [sup 6]Li wave functions reproducing the [ital ft] value for [sup 6]He with great accuracy. The results are sensitive to the neutron halo structure of the [sup 6]He nucleus.
