      +Anthony Niroshan It's very unfortunate that he died because of some "silly" infection - even if he eventually wouldn't be able to stand up, he still had a chance to live past 40, like Andre the Giant did.

    • @danijelujcic8644
      @danijelujcic8644 8 років тому +26

      Maybe if he was in a wheelchair or in bed (that last one would suck) his heart would last a bit longer because it's easier to move blood around horizontally than vertically ... But I get your point, and it's astonishing that he actually could stand up until death. Too much of "what if" anyway. My bad.

      12 and 6'5" shouldn't be the mind-blowing part. Many people experience growth spurts around that time. I was 14 when I grew to 6'4", but that was the height I remained. Sadly, this young man had the overactive pituitary gland that just kept making him unable to stop growing. Also, I was taller than my first-grade teacher when I was in the first-grade. My guess is he was deeply insecure when his height wouldn't subside. Especially with his massive head and feet. I'm size 14, 40 is nuts.
