Victoria teen able to save five lives with organ donations

Victoria Advocate
Family and friends of Matthew Spann participated in a ceremony at Christus Spohn Memorial Hospital honoring him for donating his organs to help five others.

"We gathered to raise this flag in honor of Matthew Spann. The Wednesday ceremony came in the midst of great loss and grief," said Katy Kiser, communications specialist at Christus Spohn Memorial Hospital in Corpus Christi.

Matthew, 14, was shot in the head Monday during a hunting incident. The Victoria County Sheriff's Office, which is conducting the investigation, initially said the shooting was an accident, but has not issued a formal ruling.
