    A bad cause requires many words.

      I can only assume that extreme height causes various stresses on the body and assorted systems (cardiovascular, for instance).

      At his graduation ceremony from the U of Minnesota, my cousin got a keychain. When asked what UW gave her for graduation, my sister said, "A degree from a University that matters."

          isn't that the drop dead (no pun intended) reason for all? someone gets their head blown off, they may be brain dead, but when the heart fails you die

            Some of Paxton's "Morgan Earp" lines from "Tombstone" seem appropriate today.

              It does. Andre The Giant had notorious back problems and other issues. You don't see too many 7' 80 year olds. Just saying.
              Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                  Probably did it to deal with the pain. Honestly.

                    Possible. Just saying it probably didn't help.

                      Perhaps, though from the stories I got the impression it was also a good way to pick up the 6-8 women he'd have sex with at a time.

                        According to stories I've seen that's exactly it.

                          I'm not sure the guy could drink enough to get drunk. I've read stories of him downing 6-8 bottles of wine and not appearing to be impacted at all.

                              I'm still not sure I buy that. That's just over 1.25 cubic feet (9.4 gallons). That's a keg and a quarter.

                              That kind of volume is massive even for a frame like that.

                                Silly question, maybe, but if you are that big are your organs commensurately big? I can't imagine he had much of a liver left, but perhaps if it was enormous it would just have far greater capacity for abuse.
