World's shortest man, He Pingping, dies in Italy

Thats too bad, its even sadder that his condition wasn't found sooner.. Makes you wonder if the people who cared/helped him really gave a damn about him...

Wasn't he in a movie where he was something like 007? but in chinese/china... He was wearing white & was beating the heck out of normal sized people... I think he was saving his girl. I think I saw the whole movie...

primordial dwarfs usually have risk of aneurism and don't live beyond 30. I guess his circulatory woes were in his heart instead.

Poor guy. I saw a show on him where they were following him as he was making his way to the Guiness people for official measurement. That record generally changed his life for the better, although it probably contributed to his cholesterol problems too

Yep.....that's what I thought when I read the article.
