Heart Transplant Patient Kills Himself in Same Manner as Donor


Here is a truly bizzare story that I heard this morning while getting ready for work, and was just able to find the text of it moments ago at FOXNews.com.

It takes place in HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. and the story states — A man who received a heart transplant 12 years ago and later married the donor's widow died the same way the donor did, authorities said: of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

No foul play was suspected in 69-year-old Sonny Graham's death at his Vidalia, Ga., home, investigators said. He was found Tuesday in a utility building in his backyard with a single shotgun wound to the throat, said Greg Harvey, a special agent with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

Graham, who was director of the Heritage golf tournament at Sea Pines from 1979 to 1983, was on the verge of congestive heart failure in 1995 when he got a call that a heart was available in Charleston.

That heart was from Terry Cottle, 33, who had shot himself, Berkeley County Coroner Glenn Rhoad said.

How strange is it~~please follow the link, and read the full story!!
