Carl Morgan

Carl Morgan was the crane operator who had received a transplant and died mysteriously in the Season 5 episode Not Cancer. He was portrayed by actor Michael Gaines.
== Medical History ==
Five years previously, Carl suffered heart and lung failure due to an unknown condition, and received a double transplant. 
== Case History ==
Carl's liver failed while he was operating a crane at a construction site. This causes him to drop the container he was moving, nearly crushing some of his coworkers. They find him the crane dead. Another organ recipient from Carl's donor had died previously. The case comes to House's attention when two other organ recipients from Carl's donor die, and a third becomes sick. 
It is eventually discovered that the donor was infected with cancerous stem cells. They had been transferred to Carl through the heart and lung. They spread to his liver where they became defective tissue, resulting in it failing.
