TJ Hoover was declared brain dead after suffering an overdose in October 2021, but his sister Donna Rhorer says doctors attempted to harvest his organs while he was still showing signs of life.

Rhorer says TJ’s eyes were open and tracking movement during his honor walk, when family members gather to say goodbye before organ donation surgery.

“Almost immediately as soon as his honor walk started, his eyes were opened, and they were tracking, looking around at the people that were there,” Rhorer said.

    i once posted a question on another forum a while ago about organ donation, what if we can decide which organs go to which persons, so it would mitigate some of these issues,

      If you can decide where your organs go, wouldn’t you decide to keep them for yourself? Dude wasn’t brain dead they say…
