A worker in his thirties who fell into a brain-dead condition (reported on page 12 of the Busan Ilbo on November 6, etc.), who fell while installing a banner at the Lotte Signiel Hotel in Busan, gave new life to three people by donating organs and eventually died.

On the 12th, the Korean Institute for Organ and Tissue Donation said: “A (39), who was being treated in hospital for brain death, donated his left and right heart and kidneys and closed his eyes.” On the 30th of last month, Mr. A fell from a 6 m high elevator while installing a large banner at the Signiel Hotel in Busan. A, who fell into a state of brain death in this accident, was taken to a hospital and died while receiving treatment. Mr. A’s family made the difficult decision to donate an organ after Mr. A was diagnosed with brain death.

“Wounded by the irresponsible response of the hotel”

One-person protests urging survivors to investigate the truth

Mr. B, A’s brother and thoracic surgeon, said: “I thought it would be comforting for the family to believe that some of the younger siblings were alive somewhere because of the donation, and that the younger brother must have calculated his will. Even now, there are many patients who die while waiting for organ donation. “As a doctor, I saw my younger brother’s condition and expected a bad result, but my heart broke in the process of explaining my brother’s condition to my parents who knew nothing.” .

Mr. B explained that he was even more hurt by the side of the hotel he was looking at, as if he had no responsibility. It wasn’t until the fifth day after the accident that they were only late after the accident, for example, delivering a formal apology. Mr. B said: “Instead of going to the family and apologizing directly, the hotel has been busy making a rebuttal position since the press started.” “Without a word of sincere apology, the family is more hurt by the attitude of the hotel.” I was throwing up. Mr. B said that he would come out to investigate the facts related to the accident suffered by his younger brother, and he plans to hold a one-man protest in front of the hotel starting on the 13th. He said: “My younger brother suffered brain death in an accident and not could say nothing. As a result of inquiring with the company to which the younger brother belongs, the hotel’s explanation was different from the fact. “

After the accident happened earlier, Mr. B claimed that the cause of the accident was on the side of the hotel. It is said that there was a problem with the hydraulic lift provided by the hotel to Mr. A, and there was no supervision during the operation, which infuriated him. He also claims that the younger brother, who suffered brain damage after falling from the elevator, was rendered without action immediately after the accident. On the other hand, the hotel side is faced with Mr B’s claim that an accident occurred because the worker did not install safety devices for the convenience of work and the hotel staff verified his health. The police are investigating the hotel’s liability and negligence in connection with the accident.
