Mangaluru, Sep 17: Archana Kamath (33), a lecturer at a city college, passed away after donating a portion of her liver to a relative of her husband. The cause of her death remains unclear.
The relative required a liver transplant, but no other family members had a matching blood type. When Archana's blood type matched, she agreed to donate part of her liver. The surgery took place 12 days ago at a hospital in Bengaluru, where a portion of Archana's liver was successfully transplanted. She reportedly recovered well and was discharged from the hospital.
However, four days ago, Archana suddenly fell ill and passed away in a Mangaluru hospital on September 15. Meanwhile, the relative who received the liver is reportedly in good health.
Archana previously served as a lecturer at Canara College in the city and was most recently a lecturer at Manel Srinivasa Nayak MBA College on the outskirts of Mangaluru. She is survived by her husband, CA Chethan Kumar, and their four-year-old son.
The exact cause of Archana's sudden death is not yet known, leaving her friends and family shocked and grieving over her untimely demise.
