A critically injured boy who was sent from the Inner Mongolia autonomous region to Beijing in October for urgent treatment - with the public helping to clear traffic from expressways - died on Tuesday.

The boy's parents donated his corneas in honor of the boy's dream of becoming a doctor to help others, his mother confirmed on Thursday.

Yuze, 13, died of multiple organ failure, Beijing Tiantan Hospital said on Thursday. The boy was treated there after being transferred from a hospital in Inner Mongolia on Oct 16.
