Man Who Lived Inside Iron Lung For Over 70 Years Has Died

Paul Alexander, known for living in an iron lung for over 70 years due to childhood polio, passed away at 78. His brother expressed gratitude for donations that allowed Paul to live his last years stress-free and cover funeral expenses. Paul contracted COVID-19, causing concern due to his condition. Despite setbacks, he persevered, occasionally breathing without the iron lung.

Despite being paralyzed from polio at age 6, Paul graduated high school and later earned a law degree from the University of Texas. He practiced law using a modified wheelchair and published books. As his health declined, he returned to the iron lung full-time, facing respiratory issues and leg pain.

In January, Paul shared his story on TikTok, addressing questions about his life and expressing unfulfilled dreams. His social media manager requested prayers during his COVID-19 battle. Paul’s resilience and accomplishments leave a lasting legacy, inspiring many.
