@insideedition: Paul Alexander, the man who survived seven decades in an iron lung, has died. A 1952 #polio outbreak in #Dallas, #Texas, struck Alexander, who was only 6 years old at the time. The disease left him paralyzed from the neck down, and unable to breathe on his own. The solution to keep him alive was the iron lung. Alexander went on to become a lawyer and an author. In March, the #GuinnessWorldRecords declared Alexander to be the longest-living #IronLung patient in history.
