US man who got 1st pig heart transplant dies after 2 months
David bennett, 57, died tuesday at the university of maryland medical center. doctors didn’t give an exact cause of death, saying only that his condition had begun deteriorating several days earlier.
Bennett’s son praised the hospital for offering the last-ditch experiment, saying the family hoped it would help further efforts to end the organ shortage.
