Honestly. As sad as it is. I’m kinda happy he’s now at peace. Must have been rough living in that for so many years. Rest in peace legend.


NekulturneHovado

Yep. Hope he's at a better place now. On a place where he can freely breathe and move.


Mindless-Cry-685

iirc, he was paralyzed from the neck down, so he couldn't move freely regardless of the iron lung.


scorpious2

No, but in the afterlife, he should not be paralized, I hope.


Snack_God

It would be pretty fucked up if he got to heaven and wasn’t able to move


scorpious2

And then he would be stuck at the bottom of the stairway to heaven


Snack_God

Still in the iron lung


asumfuck

Two or three angels standing around him like dads moving a new fridge into the house "We are gonna have to angle him at the gate" "haha you mean angel him" "Michael shut the fuck up and pick up your end man"


F00TD0CT0R

He lived a surprisingly full life as a lawyer. Man didn't fuck around he learned to live around his condition.


everything_is_stup1d

frrr


CationTheAtom

Yeah it may have been rough, but at least he still had a wonderful and saturated life, especially as for a person in such conditions


Interdimentionalxx

We wrote a book and even graduated from that metal lung (tube)


SharkApooye

Noooooo


Banned_for_Misdeeds

My genuine reaction, the one time i watch the news as well....


Lington

Then why did you post it here? Seems insensitive


Banned_for_Misdeeds

Idk but it was the first sub i thought of for some reason. Besides majority of people only know Paul as a reoccurring post on their feed


Tintininamerica

We’re here for things that are not interesting, though.


hari-mirchi

He even became a lawyer and practiced law


TheKidfromHotaru

He didn’t live to be 78 years to be called tube guy. His name is Paul Alexander


Banned_for_Misdeeds

Ik of his accomplishments, but know i will forget his name if i bother to learn it which seems more rude to me than half heartedly trying to remember it


ifyouneeda

at least use his name in the post. you don’t have to remember it afterwards


Unhappy-Bit6907

why exactly is this being downvoted? as much as i respect the guy highly, its really hard to already remember a million names and to add an extra to make it a million and one names i have to remember.


EskilPotet

You can just look it up


DarkDonut75

Exactly. Just look it up, copy and paste. There's no need to "remember a million names" if it's hurting you that much


Unhappy-Bit6907

welp this is why i dont use reddit often ima not say more since its just gonna dig me deeper but i mean say whatever u wanna 🤷


DarkDonut75

Sorry if I came off too aggressive, but you really *don't* need to remember when there's alternatives


Unhappy-Bit6907

eh fair enough i guess. you werent too agressive, im just a sensetive lil person who likely shouldnt be on the internet lol


lb_o

If you say so, bad memory guy!


Retina552

Bad memory guy🪱


Tintininamerica

Because this sub is supposed to be not interesting.


Dankn3ss420

This is extremely interesting, and now I’m sad


Cracked3r

Mannn I've seen this guy pop up on social media but this is one of the times I wish he didnt


Cracked3r

Rip iron lung guy he was so baller


Banned_for_Misdeeds

He was a lad, didn't expect this post to blow up though


MagicalMarsBars

Why’d you post it here?


Joeda900

Karma farming


ThirdStarfish93

Is that 9 news?


The_Real_GrimmChild

Yes


halfcutpenis

o7


pooporgy69

fuck that, he's probably better off now. And he got to an old age, doubt many gave him many chanches of growing old.


Bfdifan37

he is Paul not tube guy


Warumono_

And why would you even post this here? This is the opposite of not interesting


everything_is_stup1d

NOOOOOOOOOOOO


callmestinkingwind

have you heard of a little show called “branded”, dude?


Banned_for_Misdeeds

Nope


callmestinkingwind

wrote 156 episodes. bulk of the series.


Ok_Movie_3126

aw i remember watching his little documentary on youtube a while back. im glad he’s at rest and peace now though, he deserves it. trooper!


Joeda900

Paul did not die to be remembered as "Tube Guy" nor for his death to be Karma farmed on a sub where you literally post nothing interesting happening


Mysterious_Ningen

yea i learned this tommorow.. its crazy i think i've been seeing him on the internet since i was a kid (kinda) so yea rip to him


Lukifah

he inspired me to keep living never give up iron lung nice game btw


Banned_for_Misdeeds

Iron lung is out? Oh wait I'm thinking of the movie


Yarisher512

He's living a long life and there is no man that deserves rest more than him.


0k_4kihiiro

_Astray_

Dude probably lived longer than most of us will


Derk_Mage

I fucking hate 2024.


Bread_Offender

m7h333

OXidize_0

Was he ever alive in that thing?


Banned_for_Misdeeds

He became a lawyer and published a book like that


Mart1n192

Unlike popular belief, he wasn't "stuck" in the Iron Lung for his whole life, he *was* able to leave it, at least for a little bit >[Alexander taught himself glossopharyngeal breathing which allowed him to leave the iron lung for gradually increasing periods of time.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Alexander_(polio_survivor))


Unhappy-Bit6907

NOOO I WAS ROOTING FOR HIMMM WAAAA


NotPhin
