ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — A Florida deputy was saluted for his final act of service to others through the gift of organ donation. 

Orange County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Michael Milmerstadt suffered a brain injury while off-duty training at a gym last week, Fox 35 reported.  

The sheriff’s office posted photos on social media showing officers escorting Milmestadt’s body to a funeral home. Milmestadt’s donation could save the lives of eight people, according to the sheriff’s office. 

A GoFundMe account was started, which has since raised more than $189,000.
