Girl, 12, kills herself to donate organs to family: But she is cremated before family finds suicide note detailing her wishes
Her father was losing his eyesight; her brother had kidney issues. They could not afford medical care. The young girl poisoned herself with a pesticide, trying to give them a second chance for life.
Of course, the pesticide would probably have rendered the organs unusable, the costs of transplants and immunosuppression are high, but she was 12, and most likely didn't understand that. What she did understand is that her loved ones were hurting. But her death may not be totally in vain; a politician stated that they would help her brother and father financially so that they could have the operations she wanted for them.
