In March this year in the US, the first living human pig kidney transplant was performed, a 62-year-old man with end-stage renal disease was transplanted with a genetically modified pig kidney.
According to foreign media, 62-year-old Richard Slayman died on Saturday. The cause of his sudden death was not known.
