Girl ends life to donate eyes to dad
surgery could save her father's vision and a kidney transplant her brother's
life. But both surgeries were beyond the family's meagre means. So, Mumpy hit
upon a plan, which to her 12-year-old mind seemed the answer to all troubles.
She would kill herself, which would save the dowry, too, and her organs would
give her loved ones back their lives.
Mumpy did stick to her plan. But the suicide note in which she had scribbled
down her wishes was found the day after she was cremated.
The incident took place in Dhantala's Jhorpara on June 27. Her father's and
brother's ailments had left Mumpy Sarkar, a Class VI student, anxious. One of
the kidneys of her brother Monojit, a Class XI student, was damaged and the
other was getting weak. Father Mridul Sarkar, a daily wager, was also gradually
losing his eyesight.
"The family had approached the local MLA for help. We had decided to grant
them some money for the boy's treatment. But the tragedy happened all of a
sudden," said Dhantala panchayat pradhan Tapas Tarafdar.
Mumpy had taken elder sister Monica, a Class VIII student, into confidence
and had urged her to commit suicide as well for the "cause". When Mumpy told
Monica about her plan on the morning of June 27, the latter laughed it off and
left for school. Their father was away at work and mother Rita had gone to fetch
rice.
"Finding herself alone at home, Mumpy consumed Thiodan, a pesticide. Then,
she ran to meet her father, who was about half a kilometre away. She told him
that she had dreamt that someone had poured poison into her mouth and her
stomach ached. Her alarmed father took her to a local pharmacy immediately where
she was given some medicines. But her condition worsened soon and she had to be
rushed to the local Baranberia hospital. From there, she was referred to Anulia
hospital. But the doctors declared her brought dead," Tarafdar said.
It was only the day after her cremation that Mumpy's father found a note on
her bed. Addressed to her mother, the girl requested her to make use of her eyes
and kidney for the treatment of her father and brother. This left the aggrieved
family inconsolable. "We were too late in understanding the feelings of a very
sensitive child," Mridul wept. Mumpy's mother has gone into shock.

OMG!! This is so sad. I have a friend with a similar story but here, the person died because he was old and they discovered that another family member needed kidney a few days after the cremation. Why cremate in the first place though? This story got me thinking. This is sad, upsetting and annoying rolled up in one
