The world's shortest man Chandra Dangi from Nepal has died. He died from pneumonia in a US hospital yesterday September 4th. He was 75. He had been sick in his home which he was treating but had traveled to the US for work where he was rushed to the hospital after his symptoms worsened
Dangi was just 21.5ins, and was declared the shortest human adult ever documented in history. ‘Today, our circus is flooded with tears at the loss of the world’s smallest man...whom we lovingly called Prince Chandra.’a family friend said
The 75-year-old Dangi lived in a remote village around 400km (248 miles) from Kathmandu, and travelled the world after he was officially declared the world's smallest man in 2013.
Besides being declared as the shortest man, Dangi also had a record of the world's shortest adult ever measured. Dangi was the seventh sibling of a family of six brothers and two sisters, all of whom are normal in height.
The medical centre in Samoa Islands where Dangi was undergoing treatment, is preparing to issue the death certificate before handing over his body to his family or their representative, he added.
RIP
