A two-year-old in Italy died after a heart transplant using a frozen organ transported with dry ice, prompting an investigation and national outcry.
Two-year-old Domenico from Nola, Italy, died on February 21 after a failed heart transplant due to improper transport of the donor organ, which was cooled with dry ice instead of standard ice, causing it to freeze.
Despite the damage, doctors in Naples proceeded with the surgery and attempted to thaw the organ with hot water.
Domenico remained on life support for nearly two months, during which time his other organs suffered severe harm.
Thousands attended his funeral in Nola, where the town observed a day of mourning, and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni attended.
Prosecutors are investigating several medical personnel involved in the transplant and transport process, and the surgeon has been suspended.
The case has drawn national attention and raised concerns about organ transplant protocols and oversight.
