My dad had an aneurysm when he was 55- made it through the initial one- by the time the ambulance came he was speaking and commenting that it was raining- just as they got him to the hospital he had a massive bleed and was dead as soon as we shut the life support off. Unfortunatly we did not donate his organs-simply because no one asked us if we would! We were in such shock that it did not even occur to us until after the fact but my dad was in great health other than the aneurysm and certainly could have helped others if they had only asked us at the hospital!!
They might not have asked, because if they had looked on the back of his driver's license and he didn't check the box that he was willing to be a donor, hospitals didn't pursue it as they do nowadays.
