DPS: Trooper To Be Taken Off Life Support After Organ Donation

 

WACO, TX -- After sustaining multiple gunshot wounds to his head and abdomen as he responded to a call, the Department of Public Safety announced that Trooper Chad Walker no longer displays signs of viable brain activity.

According to DPS, despite the extensive life-saving efforts conducted by the Baylor Scott and White medical professionals Walker's condition remained critical. Walker will remain on life support until he can share the gift of life as an organ donor. 

"This final sacrifice embodies Trooper Walker’s actions throughout his life and service as a Texas Highway Patrol Trooper," said DPS in a social media post. "The Walker family is grateful for the continued support and prayers as they remain at Chad’s side."
