The Tallest Man In History

His name was Robert wadlow, he was born in Alton Illinois on February 2nd 1918, with an incredible height of 8' 11.1' (2.72m)  he became the tallest man in history. At hte age of eight he was already six feet, two inches and 195 pounds. There was no shoe that could size him, so an international shoe company decided to provide his shoes for him free of charge. 

Sadly in Manistee, Michigan in July 1940, a fatal infection set in when such a blister formed. On July 4th, doctors had Robert confined to a hotel bed, unable to find suitable accommodations at the local hospital. Days later, after emergency surgery and blood transfusions, the infection lingered and his temperature continued to rise. At Exactly 1:30 a.m., on 15th July 1940, Robert Wadlow died.
