“Patient given modified pig kidney dies two months later” would be more apt.

Very editorialized title.

“Patient dies of congestive heart failure, not due to pig kidney transplant” Also would be more apt.

That would be misleading too in the other direction, we don’t know if it played a role.

“Patient given modified pig kidney dies two months later, cause not confirmed to be kidney” or something along those lines would be the best headline.

Both your headline and OPs would not have met the first requirement for a headline, which is to draw the reader in so they have to read the article to get the whole picture.

Sadly, the article's headline does just that.

Their headline(s) made it seem like there may be some form of investigation going on in the article which makes me want to read the article. The SEO/click bait headline pushed me away. I get that I'm just me but there must be several if not tens of people like me.

"Patient sick enough to need a kidney transplant, dies"
