A 10-year-old boy who was swept into a storm drain while helping his family clean up storm debris is being kept on life support so that his organs can be donated, according to his father.

The boy, Asher Sullivan, “officially passed away” on May 18, but remains on life support to facilitate the organ donation process, his dad, Jimmy Sullivan, wrote in a Facebook post.

“It’s 100% an ‘Asher’ type thing to do in continuing to be selfless,” Sullivan shared  on Facebook. “He will have an honor walk at the hospital in the next few days and be celebrated as he is, a hero!”

    Those are big enough for kids to fit in? I’ve seen them, but I think the ones I’ve seen were still narrower then that.

    People are talking about needing more inspectors, but they shouldn’t even be manufacturing these with wide openings.
