A woman whose husband died after a moped crash in Bali is days away from giving birth in the same western hospital where his organs were donated.
Kevin Malligan, 24, his mate was driving while they were on holiday on December 29.
He was rushed to hospital before he was flown back to Sydney on January 4 when he was taken off life support after doctors declared him brain dead.
Mr Malligan donated his heart, liver and both kidneys at Nepean Hospital ultimately saving the lives of four people in an incredible final act.
His wife Leah - who is pregnant with the couple's second child - will be rolled into the hospital's operating theatre in a few days time where she will give birth.
Ms Malligan opened up on the moment she heard the news her husband had been involved in the devastating crash.

Mr Malligan had been taking a break on the holiday island and was hoping to see in the new year, but made a fatal error in not wearing a helmet when he got on the back of his friend's bike after his was stolen.
'It was an eight-minute drive from the beach to the apartment, his friend said 'just hop on the back of mine',' Ms Malligan told the.
But the moped hit something on the road and Mr Malligan hit his head in the resulting fall and was put into an induced coma he would never come out of.
Ms Malligan was in her bed in Penrith, in western Sydney, holding their two-year-old daughter Ivy when she got a call from the driver of the bike.
'My heart just dropped,' she said. 'I just felt sick instantly.
'I have so much respect for him making that call because that would have been the hardest call of his life.
'
The widow said she feels 'really bad for him because it was just a total accident and wasn't anyone's fault', and that she does not blame him.
After being stabilised and operated on in an Indonesian hospital, Mr Malligan was medically evacuated to Australia on January 4 after a campaign raised more than $123,000 to cover his medical expenses.
Though the family had hoped he would recover as he was making movements and seemed to be emerging from his sedation, there was heartbreaking news back in Australia.
Australian doctors found that Mr Malligan was brain dead and his injuries were irreversible, so the family
.
In a post on the funding site, his wife's parents wrote that 'our last hours with our son in law Kevin were this morning as we all said our goodbyes'.
'We had to go through a traumatic time that no wife, father, mother, dad and family should have to go through,' they wrote.

'Leah and his dad made the beautiful generous choice to donate his internal organs. We hope that all these organs are going to help and save as many people as possible to live a healthier life for themselves.
'We are forever grateful for so much support over these last two weeks from family, friends, work colleagues, community and complete strangers.
'Leah is overwhelmed by the support to bring Kevin back home and to have the opportunity to farewell her beloved husband and father to Ivy and her soon to be bub — due early February 2024.
Love Jodie and Belinda French. RIP Kevin.'
Instead of rejoicing in the coming birth, the Malligan family was instead faced with the agonising death.
'This is the most difficult time of any of our lives and we just can't be grateful enough to have been able to get him home for everyone to see him before he leaves us,' .
She said her husband was a 'great dad, husband and friend' with a generous and loving nature who will be 'missed by all'.
'He was always up for a good laugh and would do anything to put a smile on someone's face.'
Above all else, she said, Mr Malligan was a devoted father who loved spend time with his daughter Ivy.
'There was nothing more valuable than seeing how excited he was when he got home to give his Ivy girl a great big cuddle,' Ms Malligan said.
'They then would play constantly until it was dinner and bed-time. He loved her so much and she doesn't love anyone else as much as she loved Kev.'

Ms Malligan, who had gone to Bali to be beside her husband after the accident, was also at his side when he died in Nepean Hospital - the same hospital where she will soon .
His heart, which was full of love for his family, is now in someone else's body. His liver and both kidneys have saved the lives of three other people.
He will also live on in his second daughter, whose name he chose.
His wife has urged Australians to always take care on holidays to Bali as 'It literally only takes one second for everything to go wrong ... Just make sure you have that helmet.'
