A 47-year-old man has tragically died after suffering a cardiac arrest while being intimate with his wife as the couple were trying to conceive a child.

According to reports, Lott suddenly slumped over and began foaming at the mouth, prompting his wife to immediately call emergency services.

Paramedics responded to the emergency and rushed Lott to Cooper University Hospital, where he was placed on a ventilator.

A CT scan later revealed that he had severe swelling of the brain.

According to NJ.com, Lott was declared brain dead at approximately 4:12 p.m. on May 16.
According to the report, representatives from the NJ Sharing Network arrived at the hospital shortly after Lott was declared brain dead to discuss organ donation with his family.

However, his relatives claimed that Lott had removed himself from the organ donor registry in 2025, two years after converting to Islam.

Family members said he no longer wished to be an organ donor because of his religious beliefs, noting that many Muslims believe the body should not be altered after death.

According to Lott’s family, they informed representatives from the NJ Sharing Network that he had withdrawn his consent to organ donation.

His sister-in-law, Tiffany, told NJ.com:

“They kept saying when you check that box to be a donor, it’s a lifetime contract.”

The family said they presented Lott’s 2025 driver’s license, which they claimed no longer identified him as an organ donor, while also explaining his religious convictions.

They alleged that representatives insisted he should have formally removed his name from the registry, despite the updated license.

The family said they wanted Lott buried within three days, in accordance with Islamic tradition, but claimed they were unable to proceed because of the ongoing dispute.

According to the report, the situation was resolved after Lott’s niece, Blake, who works as an intern for Senator Paul Moriarty, sought legal assistance through the senator’s office.

Speaking to NJ.com, Blake said:

“They basically told [the hospital] what they were doing was illegal.”

“They said you’re not going against the family’s wishes, and his license? He’s not an organ donor and there’s the religious aspect.”

According to the family, the NJ Sharing Network later agreed to release Lott’s body.

He was subsequently buried three days later, in keeping with his family’s religious traditions.
