He was admitted to the hospital following a heart attack, subsequently developed pneumonia, and suffered a severe stroke, which ultimately led to his death.
He became famous online several years ago due to his blue skin, a side effect caused by using a silver compound for over 10 years to treat a persistent skin condition on his face.
Karason was originally unknown until he appeared on an NBC television program in 2008 to discuss his condition, known as "argyria," which brought him widespread fame.
In an attempt to improve his skin color, he self-administered colloidal silver, a silver suspension, which resulted in his skin turning blue.
