PITTSBURGH, Pa. â A man who recently died at the age of 95 has become the oldest recorded organ donor in U.S. history, according to the Center for Organ Recovery & Education (CORE).
CORE says a woman in her 60s received a liver donation from Cecil F. Lockhart of Welch, West Virginia, and she s doing well.
Lockhartâs family told CORE that he was moved to become an organ donor following the death of his son, Stanley, in 2010. CORE says his son âhealed the livesâ of 75 people through tissue donation and restored sight to two others through cornea donation.
