Paul Alexander cause of death

Paul Alexander, famously known as “The Man in the Iron Lung,” sadly passed away in March 2024. Despite living most of his life inside the metal machine that helped him breathe, those closest to him remember him not for his condition—but for his warmth and vibrant spirit.

His brother, Philip Alexander, shared heartfelt memories of their bond, describing Paul as a “welcoming, warm person” whose “big smile” could immediately make anyone feel at home.

“To me, he was just a normal brother,” Philip told the BBC. “We fought, we played, we loved, we partied, we went to concerts together – he was just a normal brother, I never thought about it.”

Philip also spoke of Paul’s strength and independence, even in the face of overwhelming physical limitations. “He was the master of his domain, helping people to help him,” he said, admiring how Paul managed to maintain control over his life despite needing assistance with basic tasks like eating.

Paul was definitely an inspiration. He crafted his life against all odds and had a courageous and compelling story that I hope everyone who reads this will share.

His determination shows that the only limits are the limits we place on ourselves. Please share his story with all your friends and family to inspire others.
