On October 28, Wu Bimei suddenly started experiencing severe headaches and vomiting, as reported by Sin Chew Daily.
After that, the 37-year-old was identified as having a cerebral aneurysm. This is a condition that can enlarge blood vessels and bleed into the surrounding brain tissue.
Wu was first admitted to Kuantan General Hospital and then sent for additional care to a Sungai Buloh neurology hospital. Regretfully, she suffered a heart attack during her treatment.
Wu’s heartbeat was recovered by cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), but oxygen deprivation led to Wu’s eventual brain death.

Knowing that she will “continue living in another way” inspired the entire family to sign the organ donor registration form, according to Wu Biyun, despite her initial reluctance.
Wu may have saved the lives of six individuals when she donated a liver, two kidneys, and a pair of corneas, according to the Chinese Daily. The organ donation is said to take place on November 2 between 2am and 7am.

Bu Meijiao, Wu’s mother, expressed that although it was difficult to watch her daughter pass away at such a young age, she found solace in the idea that her daughter’s organs could benefit others.
I am aware that one of the recipients of my daughter’s organs is now able to urinate independently following the transplant. Knowing that the patient’s condition has improved makes me very happy.

You are dead when you pass away. If someone can help others by donating their organs, they should do it.
