Girl, 13, revealed as record organ donor

A girl who died of a brain aneurysm in

2012 saved a record number of lives by donating her organs.

Jemima Layzell, 13, from Horton in

Somerset, is the only donor in the UK whose solid organs have been used in transplants for eight people, according to NHS Blood and Transplant. A typical donation usually results in 2.6 transplants.

The discovery was made after staff began trawling records for donors who had helped the most people. The eight recipients included five children.
