Thomas "T.J. Hoover" was declared brain-dead after a drug overdose in October 2021 .

But as doctors went to test his heart health for transplantation, Hoover appeared very much alive, according to the patient's sister and former Kentucky Organ Donor Affiliates ( KODA ) employees in the room.

Hoover's sister said she became concerned when Hoover seemed to open his eyes and look around as he was wheeled from the intensive care unit to the operating room.

KODA has denied that any of their employees instructed doctors to “collect organs from any living patient”.
