Doctors operated on Lance Cpl. Chris LeBleu, who had been in a coma and on life support, for nearly 12 hours Sunday after an unidentified donor from New Mexico was found late Saturday night.

I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, but this "donor" was no longer living, correct? The writing maakes it somewhat ambiguous. Is it possible to give a portion of a liver?

Yes, but this Marine was so sick that he needed a full liver transplant.
