(ECNS) -- Following a devastating stroke, British teacher Mark Terence Osbone made a decision to live out his limited number of days in China and donate his body organs to benefit six Chinese patients in Hangzhou City, East China's Zhejiang Province.
Mark, 49, and his Chinese wife Wang celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary in an intensive care unit at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine on June 8.
Mark had taught English in Hangzhou for six years before he was diagnosed with a subarachnoid hemorrhage, a serious, life-threatening type of stroke caused by bleeding in the subarachnoid space, on March 3.
Wang said her husband chose to die in China and made it clear to donate his body organs -- two corneas, two kidneys, the heart and liver, despite initial objections from his parents-in-law.
His friends knew Mark as a man who loved his family, friends, animals, work and life.
