Description Hiroshi Ueda (then, 14), the donor's brother-in-law, was a second-year student at Sanyo Junior High School performing building demolition work at the time of the bombing. After Hiroshi failed to return home, his father Fubachi and mother Masako searched desperately for him. They found him on August 10 on Kanawajima Island but he was already dead from his severe burns.
