The Washington state man who gained fame for the bold blue burnish of his skin -- after more than a decade of ingesting the controversial "cure-all" colloidal silver -- has died at 62, Breaking Celebrity News has learned.

Paul Karason suffered a fatal heart attack on Monday, after years of health woes, battling prostate cancer, blocked arteries, a stroke and pneumonia.

Karason was launched into the public spotlight, and became something of an Internet celebrity, after a 2008 appearance on the TODAY show where he spoke with Matt Lauer about his unique condition.
