All we know recorded in the Bible is Samson strength was from his hairs. There was no mention what rule he need to follow. I am willing to edit my answer. | |

But Judge 13:7b (NIV) read "because the boy will be a Nazirite of God from the womb until the day of his death". So Samson didn't have an exit term. There was no indication why God tolerated Samson violated the Nazirite rule, but the Lord was with him all the time when he didn't lose his hair. | |

Who's to say that because he is born a Nazirite, he somehow is exempt from the laws of the Nazirite? The angel still tells him not to drink, which he still does (Judges 14) and the rules about hair he still obeys, why specifically is he exempt from the provision against contact with corpses? | |
