He probably had a tumor secreting growth hormone in excess from the pitutary gland...which only made matters worse.

The clue is 'his tongue grew larger'. Possible growth hormone oversecretion.

And being tall like that leads to issues.



That;s an AI summary.

Modifed...ALso saw doctors gave him a diagnosis of Marfan's syndorme...which has a complication of heart issues ...which can lead to death.
this just the answer to the death of that guy, so many cases of it

Probably acromegaly but I didn't see his face well enough to be sure.

Likely a combination of acromegaly and gigantism because of the rapid onset. Tongue growth as he mentioned.
acromegaly won't grow that tall

Allow me to be ignorant but I never heard about him until today and I am surprised Ghana didn't promote him enough.

I have watched a lot of videos on the tallest man in the world and of course it comes with problems. That's why the man moved to the village. Sultan Kösen's height is 8 ft 2.8 in (2.51 m) whole this man is 7ft 4 in

I am also just finding out that the tallest African man is 8 ft 2 in
