Former Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon, 85, passed away Saturday after being comatose for eight years. He was the first prime minister of Israel to visit India.

A stroke occurs when a part of the brain does not receive blood supply. Brain cells of the affected region begin to die within a few minutes and often result in long-term dysfunction of the body part controlled by the affected brain area. If the damage is huge, the patient could slip into a coma. Read more about a stroke. Also Read - Clade X virus can kill 900 million people across globe if not checked, says study

A coma is a state where a person is alive but cannot respond to external stimuli. A person may go into a coma due to many reasons like a severe brain trauma (like head injuries), swelling of the brain, bleeding within the brain, stroke, blood sugar fluctuations (also known as hyperglycaemia or hypoglycaemia), infections, oxygen deprivation, seizures and due to some toxins. In Ariel Sharon’s case, the reason was a stroke. A person in a coma suffers brain damage, and this cell death only increases with the amount of time they are unconscious. While those who regain consciousness early might have minimal impairments, others might have some long term disabilities. Read more about coma.
