Paul Alexander, the polio survivor known as “the man in the iron lung,” has been the subject of multiple follow-up obituaries and remembrances in 2024 and 2025 after his death at age 78 in Dallas, Texas. The coverage notes his decades-long life in an iron lung, followed by achievements such as earning a law degree and writing a memoir [sources include UT Austin Law in Memoriam and international coverage from Ammon News].[1][2][3]

Ongoing references and retrospective articles highlight his inspirational journey from polio as a child to professional success, with biographical details confirming his legal education (JD from Texas Law, 1984) and his status as a notable public figure for perseverance.[2][3][1]
