Sharon Stone Says Her Late Godson Was 'Able to Save Three Lives' Through Organ Donations

Sharon Stone is speaking out about the importance of organ donation following the death of her 11-month-old nephew River.

The actress, 63, opened up to PEOPLE (the TV Show!), sharing that "nothing helped" her family "sustain the tragic loss" of her nephew and godson like organ donations. River died of "total organ failure" last month.

Stone's family donated River's organs to others in need. It is not immediately clear what organs were donated.

"The fact that my godson was able to save three lives, two infants and a 45-year-old man was sanctuary for our family, " she shared at The Eyes of Tammy Faye premiere in New York City on Tuesday night. "I can only say that you never, never know when a tragedy will happen in your life or in your family, but this opportunity be an organ donor, it saved us, saved our family.

"Many people have many different thoughts about this, but in the end, it gave us some peace."
