This is where the otherwise heartwarming story takes a turn. While the two were walking across a crosswalk, Kim Sun Woong was tragically hit by a car. He was declared braindead after the accident and his father made the difficult choice to take him off of life support. Kim Sun Woong continued with his good deeds even after death, as it was also reported that he saved 7 people’s lives due to his organ donation.
