The child had sustained severe injuries and remained under medical care before being declared dead. The incident drew attention to the critical need for organ donation in life-saving treatments.
Following the child’s death, the family was approached regarding organ donation. The parents agreed to donate the infant’s organs, enabling life-saving transplants for multiple children.
