He publicly posted like 2 weeks ago that his situation was dire and needed to get the transplant asap and asking for help from fans finding one Edited October 26 by NoSaint Quote
Mr. WEO Posted October 26 Posted October 26 3 hours ago, Simon said: Damn, I thought he'd find a donor in time Not sure how he died waiting for a kidney. only 5% of dialysis patients per year get one--the overwhelming majority will never be transplanted. Those who do typically have been on dialysis for years, on average. there's something missing from this story. 1 Quote
machine gun kelly Posted October 26 Posted October 26 I’m so sorry for his family as he’s most likely in heaven. The family is the one that suffers. 1 Quote
Mr. WEO Posted October 26 Posted October 26 2 hours ago, Sierra Foothills said: I know 2 weeks ago he made a public appeal for a donor. I'm actually a bit surprised that no one stepped forward... RIP Nick. it doesn't really work that way. the waiting list for a kidney is very long. if he had a living related match, then likely would have gotten one, so you can't assume no one in his family stepped forward. since living strangers rarely donate a kidney to another stranger, most recipients rely on matched pre-deceased donors. 1 Quote
BuffaloBillsGospel2014 Posted October 26 Posted October 26 A solid player for the Jets, terrible to hear about his situation and that he couldn't find a donor in time. Rest in paradise! Quote

Just for the sake of discussion and gaining knowledge, what if an individual stepped forward and said he would give to Mangold but no one else? Quote

Then Mangold gets the kidney. Directed donations skip the waiting list. 2 1 Quote

That’s exactly how living donation works. A donor would have to step forward to answer a specific call for an organ. If he’s a match, he donates. 1 Quote
ChronicAndKnuckles Posted October 27 Posted October 27 Beautiful moment with Rex Ryan on his former player. 1 Quote

Nevertheless, people on dialysis have long list of potential complications. It sounds like one of them caught up to him. A sad situation all around. Quote

I still quote his “Let’s go get a snack!” line fairly often. 1 Quote

That said it was an entertaining two years. 1 Quote
