Pornchai Saosri, who measured a whopping 8ft 8ins (269cm),and thought to be one of the tallest in the world had been plagued by several illnesses related to his unusual rate of growth and had recently been treated in hospital but he has sadly passed on at the age of 26.
Pornchai was bedridden and being cared for by his father Saran, 60, his mother Mrs Woen, 56, and their 15-year-old granddaughter before his death.
Mrs Woen reported that her son had died at 10.05am on November 9 at their home on Ban Takaeo village in the Prasat district of Thailand.
His funeral is yet to be organised.
After the media originally reported Pornchai’s illnesses, locals had donated 110,000 baht (around £2020) to the family but Mrs Woen used some of the money to redeem her house which had been mortgaged to pay for Pornchai’s medical bills.
