retrospect

The tallest man ever recorded visited Warrensburg town centre shortly before his death at the age of 22, 1940.


He was 268cm tall. He was the tallest man in the world ever recorded and was still growing at the time of his death aged just 22.

Wikipedia says the crutch rubbed his leg. And thus developed septicaemia from the infection. He had a blood transfusion, but he ended up dying anyway. Sad story

This is an interesting article. In the photo, he looks like Gulliver in the land of the midgets. Why did he die so early? Is it because of a hormonal malfunction in the body?
