How did Stephen Hillenburg die?
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that attacks motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord, leading to muscle weakness, atrophy, and paralysis. Death in ALS typically occurs due to respiratory failure, as the muscles responsible for breathing progressively weaken until the patient can no longer breathe on their own. Although disease progression varies among individuals, most people with ALS die within 3 to 5 years of diagnosis.
