Texas man gets heart transplant from teen who died from fentanyl overdose | FOX 7 Austin

[@mike-c4681]

I don't have any words for this sad but honorable situation

[@leannamoya6204]

My husband's sister overdosed on fetnayl and died at 27, she donated her heart and other organs. This happens more than you think and it's not announced

[@loloca]

So sad 😭

[@ungrateful-66]

Sorry for yours and your husband's loss. Losing any young family member to this epidemic would devastate me beyond words. I stopped being an organ donor just because I'm approaching middle age and drivers licenses expire.

[@Atxdavid123]

🙏❤️

[@donotSTrAYfromyourdesTINY]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@ungrateful-66I’m sure donating would still be beneficial at your age and what does driver license expiring have to do with it?

[@blakeaaron5698]

How was his heart viable after an OD?

[@pr4208]

If the cause of death stops/destroys brain function whilst the organs being donated haven't started failing and are kept alive on life support, they can be donated. That's often the case with ODs, assuming the deceased also didn't have damaged organs from prolonged substance abuse.

[@elithasim]

I was also wondering this. Fentanyl killed my dad, his stuff was laced. ME said cause of death was also due to heart failure. It was “two factor” she said.

I assumed anyone who died from an OD heart might be damaged or something. This is my first time hearing the heart of someone who died from an OD being transplanted. I guess his heart was still healthy.
