To honour her youngest son's dream of helping others, a mother decided to donate his organs after the teen was declared brain dead more than three weeks after he collapsed in school. Isaac Loo, 14, fell unconscious midway through a 2.4km practice run in school at around 8.15am on May 2. The Woodlands Secondary School student was rushed to KK Women's and Children's Hospital, and later slipped into a coma, reported Lianhe Zaobao. Alas, the teen was declared brain dead by doctors on Saturday (May 25) — which devastated his 52-year-old mother Fiona Soo, who had clung to hope for weeks that he would wake up. Soo and her three children are permanent residents from Malaysia. Her husband died of liver cancer in 2022. Soo told Zaobao that the news from the doctor, broken just four days after Isaac's 14th birthday, was a huge blow. «The doctor said Isaac may have fallen into a coma because his heart could not bear the stress during vigorous exercise, leading to arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat),» she added.
