Sundarbans Fisherman Dies After Tiger Attack; Cornea Donation Completed
Ajit Mollah, a fisherman from the Sundarbans, died at SSKM Hospital after a tiger attack caused severe spinal and neck injuries. He was declared brain dead, and his family consented to organ donation. While initial plans included retrieving his heart, liver, kidneys, and corneas, only his corneas were ultimately donated after his heart stopped during the procedure. The family’s decision was noted as significant given their remote, economically disadvantaged background.
