Alas, the teen was declared brain dead by doctors on Saturday — which devastated his 52-year-old mother Fiona Soo, who had clung to hope for weeks that he would wake up. "The doctor said Isaac may have fallen into a coma because his heart could not bear the stress during vigorous exercise, leading to arrhythmia ," she added.
Under the Human Organ Transplant Act, a person must be certified brain dead before retrieval of organs can proceed. said: "Isaac was helpful and very likable; church members would call him 'baby'. He once said that he wanted to contribute to society, but I didn't expect that he would do so in this way."
