Staffers at a hospital in Kentucky sounded the alarm when they noticed doctors were allegedly about to euthanize a patient who had been declared brain dead but appeared to have awoken on the way to organ harvesting, a shocking new report claims.

Anthony 'TJ' Hoover, 36, was declared dead at Baptist Health Richmond Hospital after suffering an overdose in October 2021.

But hospital staff soon realized that he had reflexes, and that his eyes were open the whole way as he was being wheeled on a gurney to the operating room during his honor walk - a tradition to show respect to organ donors.

Moreover, Hoover had 'purposeful movement to pain' and was 'thrashing around' during a heart catheterization to prepare his organs for harvesting, according to medical records reviewed by CNN.

Staff were reportedly 'extremely uncomfortable with the amount of reflexes,' with some complaining that 'this was euthanasia.'

You can have a cured blood cancer then you can’t even donate blood. They won’t take my organs either.
