For the tallest man alive, see Sultan Kösen.Robert Pershing Wadlow (February 22, 1918 – July 15, 1940) is the tallest person in history for whom there is irrefutable evidence. Wadlow is sometimes known as the Alton Giant or Giant of Illinois because of his upbringing in Alton, Illinois.Wadlow reached 8 ft 11.1 in (2.72 m)[2][3] in height and weighed 485 lb (220 kg) at his death at age 22. His great size and his continued growth in adulthood was due to hypertrophy of his pituitary gland which results in an abnormally high level of human growth hormone. He showed no indication of an end to his growth even at the time of his death.<img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/5c/Robert_Wadlow.jpg/220px-Robert_Wadlow.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Robert Wadlow compared to his father, Harold Franklin Wadlow (±1.82 metres (6.0 ft))Born    February 22, 1918Alton, Illinois,United StatesDied    July 15, 1940 (aged 22)Manistee, Michigan,United StatesOther names    Alton Giant, Gentle GiantKnown for    Tallest verified human beingHeight    8 ft 11.1 in (2.72 m)[1]Weight    490 lb (220 kg)Parents    Harold Franklin WadlowAddie JohnsonLater yearsWadlow's size began to take its toll: he required leg braces to walk, and had little feeling in his legs and feet. Despite these difficulties, Wadlow was never confined to a wheelchair. On June 27, 1940 (eighteen days before his death), he was measured at 8 ft 11.1 in (2.72 m) by doctors C. M. Charles and Cyril MacBryde of Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.Wadlow was an American celebrity; he was well-known due to his 1936 U.S. tour with the Ringling Brothers Circus and his 1938 promotional tour with the INTERCO. He continued participating in tours and public appearances.Wadlow was a Freemason. In 1939, he petitioned Franklin Lodge #25 in Alton, Illinois, and in late November, 1939[4] and was raised to the sublime degree of Master Mason under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of Illinois A.F & A.

Doctors treated him with a blood transfusion and emergency surgery, but his condition worsened and on July 15, 1940, he died in his sleep. He was 22.An estimated 40,000 people attended Wadlow's funeral on July 19. He was buried in a 10-foot-long (3.0 m), half-ton coffin that required twelve pallbearers to carry and was interred in a vault of solid concrete. It was believed that Wadlow's family members were concerned for the sanctity of his body after his death, and went to these lengths to ensure it would not be disturbed or stolen..ITHIN KAMATHI KATTIYA REP ++ EKAK DAALA YANNA AMATHAKA KARANNA EPA<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/happy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Happy    :)" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
