Parents sign organ donation papers just before brain dead boy comes to life
Alabama, May 8: In a miraculous incident, a 13-year-old suffering from severe brain trauma due to an accident, came back to life after his parents signed organ donation papers.
The miracle boy Trenton McKinley from Mobile city in Alabama had been hospitalized two months ago after meeting with an accident. He was riding a utility trailer and it somehow flipped over.
"I hit the concrete and the trailer landed on top of my head. After that, I don't remember anything," Trenton told Fox 10.
Jennifer Reindl, his mother told Fox 10, "All I saw was a stretcher with his feet hanging out. He was dead a total of 15 minutes. When he came back, they said he would never be normal again. They told me the oxidation problems would be so bad to his brain, that he would be a vegetable if he even made it."
His mother decided to donate his organs so it could benefit other children who were in need of transplants.
"Five kids needed organs that matched him. It was unfair to keep bringing him back, because it was just damaging his organs even more," Reindl said.
But the miracle happened just after that. Trenton started showing signs of brain activity just a day before doctors were going to pull the plug on his life support system.
In late March, he started breathing on his own and even started speaking full sentences, according to a Facebook post his mother wrote on a fundraising page.
Speaking of his brain-death experience, Trenton recalled, "I was in an open field walking straight. There's no other explanation but God. There's no other way. Even doctors said it."
Trenton still has a long recovery route. Till date, he has had three brain surgeries and will have another soon. He still suffers from nerve pain and seizures daily.
During the interaction with Fox 10, the 13-year-old tried to add some humor to the conversation. Pointing at the dent in his head, he said, "I said I could turn sideways and put salsa in there and eat chips and dip out of my head. No more washing dishes for me! She wouldn't let me put anything in it though. I really wanted to see if I could."

Kangana Ranaut's 'Emergency' banned in Bangladesh ahead of release
Mumbai: Kangana Ranaut's upcoming film Emergency, based on the life of former Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, has been banned in Bangladesh just days before its release, reportedly due to political tensions between the two nations.
According to a source quoted by News18, the ban is attributed to strained India-Bangladesh relations rather than the film’s content. The source stated, "The decision to halt the screening of Emergency in Bangladesh is tied to the current strained relations between India and Bangladesh. The ban is less about the content of the film and more about the ongoing political dynamics between the two nations."
The film portrays India’s involvement in the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War, highlighting Indira Gandhi’s leadership and her relationship with Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding father of Bangladesh. It also depicts Rahman’s assassination by Bangladeshi extremists.
Emergency stars Kangana Ranaut, Anupam Kher, Shreyas Talpade, Vishak Nair, Mahima Chaudhry, Milind Soman, and the late Satish Kaushik. Initially slated for a September 2024 release, the film was postponed after failing to meet Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) requirements. It later secured a U/A certification with 13 mandated changes.
The film is scheduled to release on 17 January 2025.
