A 71 year-old American man working as a cram school English teacher died yesterday, after being in a coma since April 8.
At around 4:00pm, April 8, the man, identified only as David by local media, was riding his scooter on Jianping Road in Tainan City, when a 61 year-old woman named Chen, also on a scooter, crossed an intersection against a red light, causing a collision.
David, who was not wearing a motorcycle helmet, was knocked unconscious and remained in a coma.
David’s son, Cody, arrived in Taiwan on April 15, and signed consent forms on April 16, that gave doctors permission to remove life support and donate David’s organs.
