>>His mother was not surprised when she learned of his death.<<
I have come to like the new show “Monday Mornings” but they had a plotline where a gang member’s mom resents the Dr. who used his organs to save 6 people. She slapped the Dr. but he was scum, born and raised as scum, and caused untold pain on an untold number of people.
Some people are only at their best when they are dead.
The only better ending to this story is if the burglar was parted out to help people.
For me:
I have already made it clear that all my parts are good to go to a good home (I suspect my liver won’t have a long line). I have BEGGED my wife to get me a pine box like in the old days since I want them to fire me up (no way will she host my desired wienie/marshmallow roast). Top dollar for my coffin: $150.
My daughter must have had noble thoughts too, after being pressured within hours of her husband's death to donate his body parts, she was horrified that they couldn't have an open casket funeral for him afterwards because his facial skin had been peeled to donate to others.
It changed my mind about donating parts, her's too.
