It's clear that Tachibana needed an organ donor, but it's never even said when she actually died: before the transplatation, during or after. Or maybe the coma theory is right and she wasn't dead at all. I personally can't discuss her past or make my own theory before i know how Tachibana was in the afterlife before Otonashi. It could mean that Kaitok, above me, is right about the possibility that Tachibana thought her donor heart was from Otonashi, but in reality wasn't, and if that would be the case, then either Tachibana died before she got her donor heart and was in the afterlife before Otonashi. Now, with that question answered, as well as "How did Tachibana end up in the afterlife before Otonashi".
