Nationwide — George Bell, who was once the tallest man in the United States at 7 feet, 8 inches, has died at age 67. He was remembered for his kindness and fun-loving personality by his colleagues at the Norfolk Sheriff’s Office, where he served from 2000 to 2014.
Bell died at home in Durham, North Carolina, surrounded by loved ones, as reported by People. Known as a “gentle giant,” Bell’s height was caused by gigantism, a condition causing excess growth hormone production. He grew up in Portsmouth and did not reach his full height until his 20s.
