A 20-year-old trainee plumber died in a car crash and went on to save seven lives through organ donation, in a case made more poignant by the fact he had also been a bone marrow donor for his brother, who had leukaemia, some 16 years earlier. The story highlights the impact a single donor can have, with his organs benefiting multiple recipients following his death.

Few further details of the crash, the donor's identity or the recipients have been disclosed in the available report. The article notes the long personal history behind his willingness to help others, tracing back to when he donated bone marrow as a young child to support his brother's cancer treatment.
