[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] The Korea Organ Donation Agency announced on the 30th that Yoon Gwang-hee (53) donated his heart, liver, and kidneys (left and right) through brain-dead organ donation at Chungnam National University Hospital on the 18th, saving four lives and becoming a star in the sky.

On the 10th, Yoon collapsed after complaining of a headache while working and was transported to the hospital, where he was diagnosed brain-dead due to cerebral hemorrhage. Despite the great sorrow, his family decided to donate for other patients waiting for transplants.

Born in Gunwi-gun, Gyeongbuk, Yoon was sociable and enjoyed spending time with friends. He was also very family-oriented and a warm and caring father to his children.

Yoon’s family said, "It is very sad to part due to sudden brain death, but since he was a healthy father, we decided with a good heart to give new life to patients in need." They added, "We hope the recipients live healthily on behalf of our father."
