Bryan Randall Death Cause
After a personal three-year struggle with ALS, Sandra Bullock’s longtime partner Bryan Randall passed away at the age of 57.
Bryan Randall’s family told PEOPLE, “It is with great sadness that we share that on August 5, Bryan Randall passed away peacefully after a three-year battle with ALS.”
Bryan made the decision early on to keep his ALS diagnosis a secret, and those of us who cared for him tried our best to comply.
The family statement continued, “We are incredibly grateful to the tireless doctors who navigated the terrain of this illness with us and to the amazing nurses who became our roommates, frequently sacrificing their own families to be with ours.”
“At this time, we ask for privacy so that we can grieve and accept that we cannot say goodbye to Bryan,” the statement reads.
The declaration was endorsed by “His Loving Family.”
According to People, Randall’s family has requested that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Massachusetts General Hospital and the ALS Association.
ALS, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, has no known treatment and is deadly. However, each patient’s ALS develops at a different rate.
Although 10% of ALS patients live at least 10 years, it is predicted that they will only live two to five years after their symptoms appear. In some nations, it is also referred to as motor-neuron illness.
The illness is also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease in honor of the US baseball player who received the diagnosis in 1939 at the age of just 36.
Bullock has two adopted children, son Louis, 13, and daughter Laila, 11, while Bryan has an adult daughter named Skylar from a prior relationship. The couple is not parents together.
According to People, Sandra and Bryan started dating a few months after they first met and even went to Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux’s wedding the same year.
When things became serious with Bryan, the actress was in the midst of adopting her second child.
The couple do not have any children together, but Bullock has two adopted children — son Louis, 13, and daughter Laila, 11 — and Bryan has an adult daughter named Skylar from a previous relationship
Lou Gehrig’s Disease
As well as being known as ALS, it is frequently referred to as Lou Gehrig’s disease.
Between 1923 and 1939, Lou Gehrig was a dependable first baseman for the New York Yankees. He was renowned for his power and toughness, gaining the moniker “The Iron Horse” during a string of 2,130 straight games.
The baseball player is credited with saying, “For the past two weeks you have been reading about a bad break,” during a speech on Lou Gehrig Appreciation Day on July 4, 1939, at Yankee Stadium. I still believe that I am the luckiest person alive today.
His popularity and notoriety extended beyond baseball. On June 2, 1941, he passed away, two years after his diagnosis.
