It is difficult to provide an exact number. Brain tumors can be a leading cause of cancer-related deaths, but the number of deaths can vary each year due to factors like advancements in treatment and early detection. It is recommended to refer to official health statistics for the most accurate information.
Peyote which is known for its psychoactive properties is used by many as a recreational drug. Although there is no official reports on deaths caused by use of peyote, long term use can cause brain damage and lead to other health issues.

Assistance dogs are generally broken down into three categories, guide dogs, hearing dogs and service dogs (which are for disabilities other than blindness or deafness). Service dogs can be trained to assist people with mobility disabilities by retrieving dropped items, opening and closing doors, and operating light switches. Service dogs can be trained to assist people with brain-related disabilities, such as seizure disorders, developmental or learning disabilities, psychiatric disabilities, as well as disabilities caused by brain injuries and strokes. Just about any type of disability might be mitigated by an appropriately trained service dog.
Brain damage, can result from trauma to the head following an accident.
