The tallest man in the world at 8 ft 3 inches still lives. He is from Turkey. 7 ft 8 inches is not that impressive. Tacko Fall of the Celtics is 7 ft 6 inches. Muresan who used to play for Washington and the Nets was 7 ft 7 inches. Most of these excessively tall men die from heart disease. Combination of a malfunctioning pituitary gland and inability to pump blood due to height. They develop irregular heart beat and are susceptible to getting a stroke.

No one will ever beat Robert Wadlow who was 8 ft 11 inches and died in 1940.

Robert Wadlow made a living traveling around the country doing personal appearances. He would have never grown that tall today because they have drugs to control the pituitary gland. It would be amazing to have seen him person.
His casket was 10 feet long, weighed 500 pounds and required 18 pallbearers.
