Aldrinne Pineda, Slain 13-Year-Old Boy’s Kidneys Removed Without Family’s Consent

The kidneys of the slain 13-year-old boy identified as Aldrinne Pineda has been removed without the consent of his family.

Pineda family received a grim package containing the kidneys of the Aldrinne submerged in formalin from Tondo Medical Center on the fifth day of his wake.

Corazon, Pineda’s grandmother said that she asked Michelle (Aldrinne’s mother) to check the latter’s medical record at the hospital.

Kidneys

Pineda’s grandmother said that the doctor simply gave the young boy’s organs inside of an old coffee container to Michelle without knowing that it was her son’s kidneys.

Jun Nalangan, Commission on Human Rights (CHR)-National Capital Region investigator-on-case said that the commission would like to know why did the doctor take out the latter’s kidney without the consent of its family.

Kidneys

The unexpected discovery came after a CHR doctor asked for Aldrinne’s kidney when the commission conducted a reautopsy of his body.

Kidneys

Corazon said that Tondo Medical Center did not inform them that the boy’s kidneys were missing during the first autopsy.

The CHR doctor made the unexpected discovery two or three days before the burial of Pineda, according to Nalangan.

Kidneys

“We were surprised when the family informed us that the kidneys were in a jar tucked under the coffin. We asked them: ‘Why?’ They told us that the organs were removed by the hospital without their permission,” said by Nalangan quoted by Inquirer.

Nalangan said that the hospital reportedly told Pineda family that Aldrinne’s kidney had to be removed after it grazed by the bullet.
