Beau Biden was an American politician, attorney, and officer in the Army Judge Advocate General’s Corps from Wilmington, Delaware. He was born on February 3, 1969, and passed away on May 30, 2015. President Joe Biden, who was vice president at the time of his son’s death, and Neilia Hunter Biden were the parents of the eldest child. Biden also held the position of 44th attorney general of Delaware from 2007 to 2015 and was a major in the Delaware Army National Guard during the Iraq War. He was a candidate for the Democratic nomination for governor of Delaware in the 2016 gubernatorial election, but he passed away from glioblastoma in 2015 when he was 46 years old.

Ankylosing spondylitis was Biden’s diagnosis upon his return from duty in Kosovo in 2001. His father thinks that his exposure to military burn pits in Iraq may have led to his eventual diagnosis of brain cancer. Biden has experienced a slight stroke and complained of headaches, numbness, and paralysis.

Beau Biden was admitted to the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston three years after the stroke, while he was on vacation and felt weak and confused out of the blue. They found and removed a little brain lesion from his brain.

Tumors known as glioblastomas (GBM) develop from astrocytes, which are star-shaped cells that comprise the brain’s “glue-like” or supporting tissue. Because the cells proliferate swiftly and are supported by a vast network of blood vessels, these tumors are typically extremely malignant, or cancerous.
