Wikipedia description:
Jesica Santillan (December 26, 1985 – February 22, 2003) was a Mexican national who died after an organ transplant operation in which she received the heart and lungs of a patient whose blood type did not match hers. The medical error occurred due to a misunderstanding about blood type compatibility between the surgeon at the Duke University Medical Center and the organ transplant agency Carolina Donor Services (CDS) and United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS). The error was identified near the completion of the surgery.
