BARNALA: He spent the last seven days of his life fighting death, but gave a new lease of life to three children on breathing his last.
Four-and-a-half year-old Gurjot Singh died at the PGIMER in Chandigarh on April 9, a week after he fell headlong from the roof of his family's house at Gehal village in Barnala district. Upon his death, Gurjot's liver was transplanted into a child undergoing treatment in Delhi and kidneys and pancreas were given to two children admitted to the PGIMER.
"God's ways are beyond comprehension. We never could have imagined that Gurjot, our bundle of joy, would die like this, at such a young age. We are trying to draw consolation from the fact that he will continue to live on in others," said Hardeep Singh, Gurjot's father who works at a tyre shop in Barnala and has a monthly income of Rs 15,000. The liver was given to a matching recipient undergoing treatment at the Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences (ILBS) in Delhi.
