The Worst Way To Die - The Ricard Siagian story

Ricard Siagian was an Indonesian YouTuber and tattoo artist who gained attention for documenting his harrowing battle with a rare and fatal sleep disorder. In 2015, after being prescribed antibiotics for a urinary tract infection, Siagian began experiencing severe insomnia, which he attributed to neurotoxic effects from the medication. Despite lacking a genetic predisposition for Fatal Familial Insomnia, his condition rapidly deteriorated, leading to a complete inability to sleep.
