He died after five days in the Brotzu Hospital from the consequences of a fall from his scooter, but Luca Piredda, 57, originally from Cep and a longtime resident of Pirri, will live on: he had always expressed his desire to donate his organs, and so it was. His liver and kidneys, removed between Tuesday and yesterday, will allow others to have a better life, thanks to the great generosity of a man who has left a huge void in his family, friends, and co-workers.

The crash

Piredda apparently lost control of his scooter, falling and suffering from trauma and injuries. An ambulance arrived on the scene, providing first aid and then transporting him to Brotzu Hospital. His condition immediately appeared serious.

For five days, the man fought to stay alive, but sadly, on Tuesday evening, doctors declared him brain dead. Devastated by grief, his wife confirmed Luca Piredda's decision to donate his organs.
