Not normal height, but people who reach record heights of 7 feet and over are more likely to die young. Their heart cannot take the extra work needed to pump their blood around their body.

In a word - no. Height has nothing to do with the age you die at. Holland is the tallest nation on earth and has one of the longest life expectancies.

I have heard that this is true, but I have never looked into it. Why don't you do a Google search.

Yes...mostly from falls. You see, the bigger they are...the harder they fall.
