British teen who was declared dead wakes up right before his organs were going to be donated

An 18-year-old boy who was declared brain dead after being hit by a van has woken up just hours before he was set to undergo an operation to donate his organs. Lewis Roberts was struck by the vehicle in Leek, Staffordshire and suffered catastrophic head injuries. Doctors informed his family "that nothing more could be done as he had unfortunately suffered a 'brain stem death' and sadly passed away". According to the fund-raising appeal, Lewis has "carried on progressing" and has started to "react to pain tests, moving his limbs on his own, and also moving his head from side to side, blinking and also moving his mouth".
