[AnthraxXx]

The world's shortest man, He Pingping, who was just 2ft 5in (74.6cm) tall has died in Rome.

He, who was from China, died on Saturday in the Italian capital where he was taking part in a television show, after being admitted to hospital suffering chest pains. He was 21 years old.

Born in Wulanchabu, in northern China's Inner Mongolia region, with a form of primordial dwarfism, He officially became the world's smallest man in 2008 when Guinness World Records measured him at 74.6cm.

Craig Glenday, editor-in-chief of London-based Guinness World Records measured He in his hometown in China.

I always have little faith in those who smoke, they tend to have a short lifespan.
