A 10-year-old boy who was swept into a storm drain while helping his family clean up storm debris is being kept on life support so that his organs can be donated, according to his father.

The boy, Asher Sullivan, “officially passed away” on May 18, but remains on life support to facilitate the organ donation process, his dad, Jimmy Sullivan, wrote in a Facebook post.

“It’s 100% an ‘Asher’ type thing to do in continuing to be selfless,” Sullivan shared  on Facebook. “He will have an honor walk at the hospital in the next few days and be celebrated as he is, a hero!”

    I really don’t care what happens to my former body once I’m dead. I’m not using it any more.

      That’s great for you; my comments were not necessarily directed to you, they were adding context for any other readers.
