Keith Lott, 47, of New Jersey suffers cardiac arrest on May 16, according to reports. He is later declared brain dead on May 19, with one account stating the declaration occurs at 4:12 p.m. Both reports say that shortly after the brain-death determination, an organ procurement process begins, and a procurement agency is attempting to obtain his organs. The Daily Mail reports that members of Lott’s family ask for additional time and for the process to pause while they are with him. The articles also describe that strangers arrive during this period, and that the family’s pleas to leave him alone are not followed, according to the reporting. The two sources differ only slightly in the timing details they provide, but they agree on the overall sequence: cardiac arrest on May 16, brain-death declaration on May 19, and an organ procurement effort shortly afterward, accompanied by family conflict over what the family says should have happened next.
