Heart transplant recipient dies the same way as donor
Chris Spags A fun little heartwarming story to start your day. Some dude who received a heart transplant seemingly died the same way his donor did: suicide.
A man who received a heart transplant 12 years ago and later married the donor’s widow died the same way the donor did, authorities said: of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
No foul play was suspected in 69-year-old Sonny Graham’s death at his Vidalia, Ga., home, investigators said. He was found Tuesday in a utility building in his backyard with a single shotgun wound to the throat, said Greg Harvey, a special agent with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
Graham, who was director of the Heritage golf tournament at Sea Pines from 1979 to 1983, was on the verge of congestive heart failure in 1995 when he got a call that a heart was available in Charleston.
That heart was from Terry Cottle, 33, who had shot himself, Berkeley County Coroner Glenn Rhoad said.
He married the donor’s widow? This sounds like a bad Tales from the Crypt episode. Only with less crying on my part. That skeletonian bastard freaked me the f out. I’d punch him in his stupid face. What would he do about it? He was just some douchebag that liked to tell stories. He’s no different than some asshole reading in the park. And I can take any asshole reading in the park. Especially if they have no flesh and are made of rotten bone.
Oh yeah anyway that’s creepy. They say that the heart wants what it wants. So I suppose it’s possible that a heart just wants you to shoot yourself. Crazy hearts, what won’t you do?
