A 17-year-old Plus Two student, Ayona Monson, from Sacred Heart Higher Secondary School in Payyavoor, Kannur, tragically passed away on Thursday, January 15, 2026, after sustaining severe injuries from jumping off the third floor of her school building on Monday, January 12, 2026. Ayona, who was a science stream student, had been on ventilator support at a private hospital in Kannur since the incident. Following her declaration of brain death, her family made the compassionate decision to donate her organs, which included her kidneys, liver, and corneas, giving new life to several patients. In a significant medical first for Kerala, one of Ayona's kidneys was successfully transported from Kannur to Thiruvananthapuram on a commercial IndiGo Airlines flight on Thursday. This innovative approach became necessary due to technical constraints preventing the use of a helicopter, highlighting the critical race against time in organ transplantation. The Kerala State Organ and Tissue Transplant Organisation (K-SOTTO) coordinated the transport, with an organ transplant coordinator accompanying the organ. While the exact reasons for Ayona's drastic step remain unclear, police indicated that she might have been disturbed by her mother's impending travel abroad. The incident has cast a pall over the school and the local community, prompting discussions on student mental health and support systems. Her funeral is scheduled for Friday. This act of organ donation amidst personal tragedy has been widely reported by various credible sources, including Onmanorama, Kerala Kaumudi, and Awaz The Voice.
