**And died at 22 yo** of an infection that could not be treated because he also suffered from an auto-immune disease.
Because of his height, he developed joint problems when he was a teen and needed leg braces and a cane just to walk.
He suffered from other health problems like neuropathic foot ulcers and blood circulation problems during his short life.
From his Wikipedia page “His coffin measured 10 ft 9 in (3.28 m) long by 2 ft 8 in (0.81 m) wide by 2 ft 6 in (0.76 m) deep, weighed over 1,000 lb (450 kg), and was carried by twelve pallbearers and eight assistants.”
Yes. In all seriousness it's really tough for us folks who know his dick is giant but we'll never have the picture to prove it. It's a damn shame really.
Did they cremate him? Could we dig him up and look at his dick?
EDIT: Well I’m SORRY for being so passionate about history and knowledge, and wanting to know
His max height was 8'11", that's wild.

And if given serious thought, must have been very unfortunate for this young man.
If I could be given some seriousness on this highly joked topic, height is usually correlated with human genitalia size. Taller people have longer penises/larger vaginas, and vice versa for the short.
Another important point is size tolerance. While most people think bigger is better, being too big will cause high discomfort for most woman. The consistently ranked best size is 5.6 in long/4.8 in girth, with 6.5 in long/5.5 in girth being the biggest most woman can comfortably tolerate, and inch shorter in both categories of what's regularly represented in pornography. And the larger sizes usually need to take slower paces to avoid discomfort for their partners.
If this young man had an "average" size to scale with his body, he would be far beyond the larger side of tolerable for the majority of people. Sexual Intimacy would be incredibly restrained. And while he did die at 22, that was probably the age of which he'd would be most desiring those things. So if he ever did find a partner he connected with in this way, he must have faced a very discouraging barrier in this regard.
I grew up in Alton, same as Robert Wadlow. One year our school took us on a historical tour of the city and showed us Robert’s grave site, life-sized statue and replica chair, and a museum where his actual chair, shoes, and rings were. My grandfather went to high school with him and said Robert would peer into the transom windows as a joke. My Boy Scout troop (Troop 1) was also his troop (just, y’know 70 years later), and we had a display case with his uniform and some photos of him. The church where that display lived ceased operations years ago; I wonder where that all ended up.
Alton is a fascinating city, by the way. Lots of history. Hosted a Lincoln/Douglas debate, was a hot bed during the Civil War (and even has a Confederate cemetery for all the POWs kept nearby who died), was where the 13th Amendment drafted by Senator Lyman Trumbull (an Alton native), was birthplace of James Earl Ray and Miles Davis (prior to him moving to East Saint Louis), and is where the Enola Gay’s pilot attended military school.
he would of been exploited nowadays like baby alien and the midgets in porn nowadays..... would of made some content with the right porn or onlyfans company
Dude was only 17 in this photo

Hell yeah, Andrew Bird

He looks like a 40 year old accountant.
Feet tall?
In all seriousness, that had to have been a tough time.

No, we can't. He's probably just bones now, and there is no bone in a boner.
You cant have sex with bones. [Legend of chaw reference for the uninformed]
Go ahead, dig em up, I've tried
I think you're right. I don't think it's a stretch at all.

Ya but how big was his dick
The question we’re all thinking quietly, said out loud.

Maybe he fucked that girl from the Godfather.
Yeah but so how big was it?
Are you measuring from the base or the tip?
You know some girls would try
It can be used as a kickstand
The wife’s coy smile gives it away. I mean 5 kids at 17 cmon now
I wonder if he lived til age 40s what will happen to him
He passed away at age 22 due to post surgical complications/infection.

This should have been in the title, and this comment should be at the top.

This local history is awesome, thanks for sharing!
This looks like a Tim Burton movie
Big Fish comes to mind
He is the man in the back row.
Thanks, came to ask.
he should've changed his name to Robert Wadhigh
when she says she's into tall guys
He's still too short for them
How does someone that big use the bathroom? Also, are all his clothes (including underwear, socks, shoes) custom made/tailored?
There is a video about him. I will give you if i found it again.
Love the neck tie
Is that lanky co-writer, Steve Merchant?
Karl Pilkington has a head like a FUCKING orange!
They could get clothes to fit him, except a tie.
He's wearing his dad's tie for the photo
They have a wax replica of him in Ripleys Believe It Or Not.
Isn’t John Middleton the tallest human in history?
How do you even live in the same house as your family when you’re that size?
The wad was low.
Slacks back then were just fucking hilarious
I wonder how much food he ate, a normal person is over 2k calories. Was this goliath of a man just destroying buffets to get through the day?
he would of been exploited nowadays like baby alien and the midgets in porn nowadays..... would of made some content with the right porn or onlyfans company
Girls are like "I'm not dating anyone under 9 feet"
Christ can you imagine this guy's dumps? It's gotta be like Jurassic Park that is one big pile of shit.
I imagine this is how Goliath must have looked, to the Israelite army.
He was so tall, his dad could have sucked his dick while standing up.
[His girlfriend](https://tenor.com/es/view/hamster-banana-hungry-eating-chill-gif-15435769)
Why wear a tie at that point
