The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says an Arkansas man's lungs, liver and kidneys were donated to four patients in Dallas and Alabama after he died in Texarkana, Texas.
The man died in May of a brain hemorrhage. The CDC says he had not shown symptoms of rabies. Three of the transplant recipients, including two Texans who received his kidneys and an Oklahoman who received his liver, died of rabies after suffering from lethargy and neurologic and respiratory problems.
