First US recipient of partial face transplant dead at 57

WASHINGTON - Connie Culp, the first US recipient of a partial face transplant, has died at age 57, according to Ohio's Cleveland Clinic, where she underwent the delicate operation nearly 12 years ago.

His wounds were far less extensive than hers, and he was later jailed for seven years over the attack. A transplant can help recipients - often victims of accidents, violence or rare genetic disorders - to resume basic tasks such as breathing, eating and speaking, and it restores important non-verbal communication through smiles and frowns.
