Heart Transplant Patient Kills Himself in Same Manner as Donor

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C.  —  A man who received a heart transplant 12 years ago and later married the donor's widow died the same way the donor did, authorities said: of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

No foul play was suspected in 69-year-old Sonny Graham's death at his Vidalia, Ga., home, investigators said. He was found Tuesday in a utility building in his backyard with a single shotgun wound to the throat, said Greg Harvey, a special agent with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

Graham, who was director of the Heritage golf tournament at Sea Pines from 1979 to 1983, was on the verge of congestive heart failure in 1995 when he got a call that a heart was available in Charleston.

I've heard all these freaky stories about transplant recipients taking on traits of the donor, but this story just tops them all, IMO.

The heart they  have in common makes a good story, but it was more likely the wife they had in common. :fuelfire:

I would not be surprised, to be honest.
