BANGKOK — A Chulalongkorn University engineering student has died after being diagnosed with brain death, with his family fulfilling his wish to donate his organs and eyes to help other patients, the Thai Red Cross Society said.
The student, identified as “Nong Tao” Noppawit Siriwasanakup, was a first-year engineering student. The Thai Red Cross Society said his family decided to carry out his previously expressed intention to donate his organs and eyes, allowing multiple patients to receive life-saving and life-changing transplants.
In a separate statement, the Secondary Demonstration School of Prince of Songkla University (PSU) expressed condolences over the passing of Noppawit, a former student in its secondary programme, saying he died following an accident and later entered a critical condition before being declared brain dead.
The school said Noppawit had previously expressed his intention to donate his organs, and his family fully honoured his wishes, enabling his final act to contribute to society by giving hope and new life to others.
