KILGORE — A 15-year-old
boy, who decided to donate his
organs to medicine after viewing
a television movie about a heart
transplant, died of injuries from
a traffic accident less than a
week later.
Anthony Pennington, 15, of
Kilgore was struck from behind
by a pickup truck Saturday night
while riding his bicycle. He died
Monday morning at Tyler
Medical Center.
Four days before the acci

sophomore had viewed the tele
vision movie “Thursday’s Child”
and commented to his brother
that he would like to donate his
organs to medicine. The movie
dealt with the life of a 17-year-
old boy who underwent a heart
transplant.
Pennington’s two corneas
were donated to patients in
Mother Francis Hospital in Tyl
er, hospital officials said. His
kidneys were given to a trans
plant team in Dallas and the
heart went to a patient in a St.
Louis, Mo., hospital, officials
said.
“We told them (the doctors) to
