Retired NHS worker Brian Stapleton donated his kidneys, liver, corneas and heart valves.

A grandfather's decision to become an organ donor meant he could save the lives of three people after he died, a health trust has said.

He donated his kidneys, liver, corneas, and the valves from his heart, saving three lives, Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust said.The trust said Mr Stapleton had been in seemingly good health before his cardiac arrest, and had spent the day painting. Mr Stapleton had a blockage in an artery to his heart, which required an angioplasty and a stent to help prevent the artery from closing again.

She and her mum were told that due to the length of time his heart had stopped, he had suffered a hypoxic brain injury and would not be able to live.
