A high school principal has died after going to the hospital to donate bone marrow to try to save the life of a 14-year-old in France.
Derrick Nelson, principal of Westfield High School in New Jersey, died unexpectedly Sunday night, according to school officials. His fiancée, Sheronda Braker, said that Nelson suffered complications after his bone marrow donation.The school's newspaper reported in February that Nelson decided to donate his bone marrow to a boy in France after being contacted by Be the Match. The national bone marrow donor program told him that his blood might be a match.
— Salim Sivaad April 9, 2019 Jackson O'Brien, senior class president at Westfield High, told CNN affiliate WABC,"He always tried to inspire students in the classroom and outside to be good people. And I think he served as a great role model." Westfield Mayor Shelley Brindle said on Facebook that her family was"devastated" to hear the news.
Unfair. Not acceptable.
Someday, there will be a dyslexia for a cure
Fake news!
Oh what a tangled web. If you allow such idiocy people won't come forward to donate blood, bone marrow, organs. Its a slidey slope
Our condolences from California to the family of the Principal that donated bone marrow to a 14 year-old child in France. He will be missed.
The linked story does not mention the lawsuit, Perhaps this is an older version?
Who is the family suing?Did the boy who received the marrow survive? Did it get to the point that he was able to give his marrow or did he die 1st? Horrible 'journalism'
Why does the headline say one thing but doesn’t saying ANYTHING about them suing in the article I-.....
Why doesn’t this article mention anything about the family suing Are you becoming a click bait news source?
So sad to hear, a good soul living us. May God bless this soul with peace.
oh,it is a bad news.the high school principal is going to the Heaven

My God .. how Sad ..
Thank you sir!
All heroes don’t wear capes 🙏

RIP that's sad news for him and his family, a big heart taken
Playing the 'Hero' card is ALWAYS risky! There are NEVER any guarantees. I am sure his family, friends and colleagues are devastated and heart-broken.
It was the Clinton Foundation.
His last act was one of selflessness, May God be with his family and may his soul Rest In Peace in the arms of our savior.🙏🏻
this is what a hero looks like....
So, so sad. He died giving the gift of life, without question. RIP
Everything happens for a reason.
May his soul rest in eternal peace
So sad!
definition of the word Hero!
What the hell happened? This isn't going bode well for future donors if it remains a mystery.
Eeya! Sorry 🙏 Bone marrow?

Sad. But he gets to keep the credit of greatest intention: To save a life.
So sorry ... prayers for his family
Rest in honor
