Sam Ballard: Personal Life

Sam Ballard was born in Sydney, Australia. He grew up in the same city. He was twenty-eight years old when he passed away. Sam held an Australian citizenship and was of white ethnicity.

Sam ate a slug in 2010 as a dare at a party. He was only nineteen back then. The cause of his death was Eosinophilic Meningoencephalitis whose medical definition is Meningitis with a high percentage of eosinophils (a type of white blood cell) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The usual cause is the parasite Angiostrongylus cantonensis, also known as the rat lungworm. This caused him to be in a coma for four hundred and twenty days. While a lot of people recover from it, he suffered serious brain damage.

Sam was never a social media kind of person. He liked to spend most of his time outdoors with his friends and family. Social media wasn't as popular before he went into a coma so maybe that is why he never used it.
