Is cord blood compatible when transplanted to a non-relative of the donor?

It can be. Like any other type of transplant, there are compatibility issues that need to be analyzed to determine compatibility. Cord blood from a non-relative (and a relative as well, the only time HLA-typing is not required is an autologeous transplant) will be HLA-typed to determine compatibility before any transplants are performed.

If a donor recipient dies can the organ be re used?
Usually the donor's transplanted organ is not transplanted again - it puts a lot of stress on the organ. And depending on how long the donor recipient has been on immuno-suppression for, some of the other organs may not be used (it can affect the kidneys a lot).
What is domino transplant?
A domino kidney paired exchange starts with a non-directed or altruistic donor. Instead of just one person benefiting from their donation, this donor can allow many incompatible pairs to be transplanted. The difference in the example shown below from the "Kidney Paired Exchange" is that Donor #2 is not compatible with either recipient #1 or #2. As such, the altruistic donor allows the other pairs to be exchanged, and have the domino effect.
Which blood type is the universal blood type?
Type O negative blood is a universal donor blood type. In normal circumstances, anyone can receive type O negative blood in a transfusion. When it comes to plasma donation, type AB positive is a universal donor.
