"Heroic gift": NYPD officer who was shot and killed saved five people's lives with organ donations

NYPD Officer Wilbert Mora will live on after his tragic death, thanks to a heroic gift. Mora, 27, lost his life this week after being shot while responding to a call in Harlem on Friday. His family wished for him to be an organ donor – and now, his organs have saved five people's lives.

"When Officer Wilbert Mora's family was notified of his passing, his family knew their brave and dedicated son would want to continue to save lives, even in death," said Leonard Achan, president and CEO of LiveOnNY – a nonprofit for organ donations in New York.

Their wish has been fulfilled and "with their heroic gift of organ donation, five people who were waiting for a heart, liver, two kidneys, and pancreas were saved," Achan said.
