A 48-year-old man from Davangere, who was declared brain-dead at the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS) on Friday, donated his organs and tissues to benefit six people.

The man, who had suffered a stroke a few months ago, was brought to NIMHANS for treatment after suffering another stroke. He was diagnosed with cerebral venous thrombosis and spontaneous intracerebral haematoma. Despite surgery and other medical interventions, his condition deteriorated, and he was declared brain-dead following a medical evaluation.

The man is survived by his wife and 12-year-old son.

The organs and tissues were retrieved on the morning of October 25. Both kidneys were allocated to INU Hospital, the liver to Aster Hospital, Whitefield, the heart to Aster CMI Hospital, and both corneas to Minto Hospital.
