On Sep 7, M. Pakshirajan, employed at Tata Consultancy Services, was riding his two wheeler when he met with a road accident and was critically injured.
"He was the only son of his parents and the youngest in the family. All his five sisters are elder to him," A. Raghuraman, Pakshirajans brother-in-law, told IANS.
He was admitted to a private hospital here. Despite a brain surgery Pakshirajans condition did not improve and he was declared brain dead Thursday night.
When doctors explained his condition to the family members, Pakshirajans mother suggested harvesting her sons organs, which can be donated later.
According to the family members, Pakshirajan decided to cut short his US assignment to be with his old parents following his marriage last year.
All the family members, including his eighth-month pregnant wife and sisters, agreed for the organ donation. His heart, kidney, liver and eyes will be harvested and transplanted later. Reported by Deccan Herald 18 hours ago.
