CEDAR CITY — A 19-year-old Southern Utah University student who reportedly fell from a moving vehicle in Cedar City a week ago died from his injuries four days later.

Pikula said the organ donation has brought some measure of comfort to his family.

"It's definitely helped the family to know that Micah's enthusiasm for life will live on in others," he said.
