Mrs. Wang called for help and the authorities quickly responded to save Wilbert’s life, however, it’s already too late, the OFW has been declared brain dead when he arrived at the hospital.

Before he died, Wilbert asked his wife to donate his healthy body organs to other people. Around 6 o’clock, Wang decided to donate the kidneys, a pair of corneas, the liver and heart of her husband, which will benefit six Chinese patients who’re suffering in different ailments.

“This not only helps my husband to fulfill his wish but also allows his life to continue so that my husband will leave love forever in the country he loves.” Mrs. Wang told the reporters.

Because of this heroism, the medical staff of Taizhou City People’s Hospital paid their utter respect to Mr. Wilbert and vowed before they performed the operation that would remove the donated body parts of the OFW.
