<p>A man who donated a kidney to his dying twin brother 56 years ago in the world&#8217;s first successful organ transplant has died aged 79.</p>
<p>Ronald Lee Herrick died on Monday in hospital in Maine after undergoing heart surgery in October.</p>
<p>Mr Herrick donated a kidney to his twin brother, Richard. Because they were identical twins, there was no problem with rejection.</p>
<p>The operation on December 23, 1954, kept Mr Herrick&#8217;s brother alive for eight years. Lead surgeon Dr Joseph Murray went on to win a Nobel Prize.</p>
