David Bennett had his heart replaced by a genetically modified pig’s heart after going through surgery.
It is unclear whether he died because of the organ transplant.
Hospital staff refuses to comment further on cause of death as a thorough examination is yet to take place.

The person who received a pig’s heart transplant passed away on Tuesday afternoon, months after going through the surgery.

David Bennett, 57, had made headlines across the globe after he had his heart successfully replaced by a genetically-modified heart taken from a pig.

However, Bennett passed away just two months after the transplant, according to The Sun.

It is unclear whether he died because of the organ transplant or due to some other reason. “There was no obvious cause identified at the time of his death,” a hospital spokesperson told to the New York Times.

The doctor who performed the surgery said that the hospital staff was upset over his death. “He proved to be a brave and noble patient who fought all the way to the end,” said the doctor.

Talking about his patient, the doctor said: “Bennett became known by millions of people around the world for his courage and steadfast will to live.”

The staff refused to comment further on the cause of his death as a thorough examination is yet to take place.

Ali Amin Gandapur, the chief minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, has threatened to storm Islamabad, according to Khawaja Saad Rafique, a former minister and leader of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N). This is a very serious situation.

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa administration has reportedly launched attacks on the federal capital in the past in an attempt to seize Islamabad, according to Saad Rafiq on the social media platform X (previously Twitter).

“However, PTI got nothing and it resulted in creating chaos, hatred and economic destruction,” he continued.

He added, “If the anarchists attack Islamabad to occupy it this time too, it will become impossible for them to return as rulers.”

According to the leader of the PML-N, fascist behavior will no longer be accepted, and the dirty politics of violence, fire, and ransacking will no longer be effective.

The PTI, he said, has to act rationally and refrain from inciting another May 9.
