Answer 2

Robert Pershing Wadlow (February 22, 1918 – July 15, 1940), according to Guinness World Records is the tallest person in medical history for whom there is irrefutable evidence. He is often known as the Alton Giant. Wadlow reached an unprecedented 8 feet 11.1 inches (2.72 m) in height and weighed 440 pounds (199 kg) at his death. His great size and his continued growth in adulthood were due to a tumor within his pituitary gland. He showed no indication of an end to his growth even at the time of his death.

Answer 3

Tallest living man.

1. Guinness currently recognizes Bao Xishun, at 2.361 metres (7 feet and 8.95 inches), as the world's tallest living human being.

2. Leonid Stadnik (Ukrainian: He says he is 2.53 metres (8 feet 4 inches) tall, weighs about 200 kg (440 pounds) (April, 2004) and is still growing. He also claims to have the largest palm size recorded, at 31 centimetres (12¼ in) long. These claims have not been independently verified.

Tallest man ever.
