According to hospital authorities, the man's heart, liver and two kidneys have been transplanted, while his corneas have been preserved.
"The patient was admitted to Rockland Hospital in Qutab institutional area with complaints of severe headache and pain in the right side of the body on June 23 morning.
"Within two-three hours, the patient was diagnosed to have aneurysmal hemorrhage and put on ventilator. He was intubated and declared brain stem dead by evening," Rajeev Makhuri, Senior Organ Transplant Coordinator, Organ Retrieval Banking Organisation (ORBO), AIIMS, said on Monday.
