Cornea donation shocks family after daughter's death
In Fort Worth Texas five weeks after Angela ReeRee James's death a cornea was transplanted into a police officer. The donor was Nancy Baldridge's 15 year old daughter. Baldridge learned of the transplant from a church member and criticized the lack of family notification. The Lions Eye Bank cites Texas law allowing cornea removal with medical examiner permission without family consent. A separate Dallas case reports two women indicted for the May 22 abduction of Virginia Wyatt at NorthPark Center. If convicted they face life in prison.
