There are various causes of coma such as traumatic brain injuries and are often caused by accidents or acts of violence. Strokes occur due to reduced or interrupted blood supply to the brain which is caused by blocked arteries or a burst blood vessel resulting in a coma. The other main cause of coma is tumors in the brain or brainstem. In some cases overdosing on drugs or alcohol can result in coma. Moreover, people with diabetes, blood sugar levels that become too high (hyperglycemia) or too low (hypoglycemia) causes coma. 

People who have been rescued from drowning or those who have been resuscitated after a heart attack may not awaken due to lack of oxygen to the brain. Furthermore infections such as encephalitis and meningitis cause swelling or inflammation of the brain, spinal cord or the tissues that surround the brain in severe cases of these infections can result in coma. Moreover, in some cases exposure to toxins, such as carbon monoxide or lead, can cause brain damage and coma.
