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!”
The frequency with which people have trouble with newspaper-headline grammar makes me feel old…
When English isn’t your first language, this is a really confusing title.
It’s weird when English is your first language, too. No one speaks or writes like this except in Newspaper headlines.
Feeling this myself right now.
I’m only 33 and the title makes perfect sense to me.
I can see how if English isn’t your first language it can sound weird.
