I wonder how close he was to getting his kidney, surely a number of people were probably in the process of being assessed for compatibility and all that.

I have a feeling he didn't reach out till Late ... probably to late, in his case.

He was diagnosed with issues back in '06 (not that he needed a kidney back then)
