Heart recipient, 17, dies in high-speed police chase crash two years after he was nearly denied transplant because of his bad behavior
  • Anthony Stokes died on Tuesday after he crashed a stolen car into a pole while fleeing from the scene of an attempted burglary in Roswell, Georgia
  • He had fired at an elderly woman after breaking into her home
  • Less than two years ago, he was given a life-saving heart transplant
  • He was initially denied the surgery because doctors said he had previously failed to take medication so would be 'non-compliant' with the treatment
  • But they changed their minds following pressure from civil rights groups and the boy's family, who said he had been stereotyped as a troubled teen
  • After the transplant, he said he was grateful for a second chance at life

Hindsight is 20/20, the future is uncertain. He was 15 yo when he got the transplant, it's fair to think he would turn his life around with a second chance, many young people do.
