The creator of the famous cartoon hero Sponge Bob Stephen Hillenberg died at the age of 57, reports the Daily Mail. "We are sad to share the announcement of the death of Stephen Hillenberg, the creator of SpongeBob," says a press release broadcast on Nickelodeon's US children's television channel Twitter. "Leave a minute of silence to honor his life and his work."
The creator of the famous cartoon character Sponge Bob Stephen Hillenger was diagnosed with severe amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Hilenberg is a former oceanologist. He created "SpongeBob" in the late 1990s (created in 1999), initially wanting to call him Sponge, The Boy, but for copyright reasons, he was forced to change his name . Nickelodeon, an animation producer, announced in an official announcement that it supported Steve and his family and would respect their desire not to comment on it.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lu Gerig's disease, is a neurological disease that causes motor neuron degeneration, causing paralysis and, in many cases, a fatal outcome. Unlike Alzheimer's disease, this type of multiple sclerosis does not harm the mind. It is not treated, but there are examples of patients who live long years after becoming ill. The most famous example is Professor Stephen Hawking.
