John Hege taken off life support

Edited on Tue Mar-24-09 10:56 AM by RB TexLa

OAKLAND, Calif. – A hospital spokeswoman says a fourth Oakland police officer who was shot by a man wanted on a parole violation has been taken off life support.

Spokeswoman Andrea Breaux of Alameda County Medical Center said Officer John Hege (HEE GEE) was taken off life support late Monday.

The 41-year-old officer's family had kept him alive so his organs could be donated. Breaux said the process of harvesting the officer's organs started just after 8 p.m. and was completed by 2 a.m.
