Sax faced many brushes with death. As a child, he once fell from a height of three floors, hit his head on a stone, and was believed dead. At age three, he drank a bowl full of acidic water, mistaking it for milk, and later swallowed a pin. Several times, he avoided accidental poisoning and asphyxiation by sleeping in a room where varnished furniture was drying. Another time, young Sax was struck on the head by a cobblestone and fell into a river, almost dying.
His mother once said, "he's a child condemned to misfortune; he won't live." His neighbors called him "little Sax, the ghost."
