SEATTLE —
Timothy Garon, 56, will die in the next few days, his son told KIRO 7 Eyewitness News, and he can't understand why he was denied a place on the transplant waiting list.
Doctors said drug use is one of the factors they consider in deciding whether a patient is likely to be able to handle the treatment regimen required of people who have transplants.
Garon's son told KIRO 7 Eyewitness News reporter Jeff Dubois that it's too late for his father, but the system needs to be changed.
Garon is the lead singer for Nearly Dan, a Steely Dan cover-band. He was charged with manufacturing marijuana for his arrest in December at a rental home in Mountlake Terrace.
