Wisconsin Teen Killed in Tragic Sawmill Accident Saves Mother's Life Through Organ Donation

year-old Michael Schuls was killed in an accident at a Wisconsin sawmill on July 1.
Schuls was pinned by machinery while trying to unjam a wood-stacking machine and died two days later from traumatic asphyxiation.
Schuls' organs, including his liver, were donated to at least seven people, including his own mother in need of a transplant.
The tight-knit community of Florence, Wisconsin is mourning the loss of Schuls, described as helpful, thoughtful and selfless.
The accident has sparked discussions about safety improvements and child labor law violations in dangerous industrial settings.
