A severely disabled man who gave up Kidney transplant patient so a young girl could live has died after his kindness was rewarded with a quad bike which he then crashed.
Mesut Irvul, 31, from Agri, Turkey, died in the accident despite the best efforts of medics to keep him alive.He was waiting his turn for a kidney transplant and regularly met other youngsters during his dialysis visits.
One of those was a young girl and although she was behind him in the queue he decided to let her take his place when a kidney became available.
When news of his gesture was made public a wealthy sponsor bought him a quad bike so he could independently travel to his dialysis treatment.But he later drove it off the road and suffered fatal injuries.
The accident happened on July 20 while he was doing a reversing manoeuvre and his vehicle rolled down an embankment.
Doctors at Dogubayazit State Hospital treated him before he was transferred to Agri State Hospital for surgery to stop bleeding on the brain. He died seven days later.
Irvul was 19 when both his kidneys stopped working and became dependant on dialysis to stay alive.Last year he was told he would be getting his kidney transplant which he then passed up on. Irvul said at the time that he did not regret his decision and that he would do the same thing again.
