【2.345m! According to the Associated Press and CNN on the 24th, Igor Wolfkovens, the highest living record holder in the United States, died of a heart attack last Friday at the age of 38. He was named the highest living person in the United States by the Guinness Book of World Records in 2010. Wolfkovins was born on September 8, 1982 in Bar, Ukraine, when a tumor pressed his pituitary gland, causing it to secrete abnormal levels of growth hormone, growing taller and taller, growing to 1.83 meters at the age of 6. He moved from Ukraine to Rochester, Minnesota, at the age of 7 for treatment. His brother said that because of his unusual size and the aftermath of the Cold War in the late 1980s, Wolfkowinsky was already famous when he first arrived in the United States, but he "would rather live a normal life than be famous."
