The World's Smallest Man Has Died

He Pingping, the world's tiniest man, will be buried in the world's tiniest coffin in the world's tiniest plot with the world's tiniest tombstone on top of it after he passed away on Saturday in Italy. Pingping was just 21-years-old.

Pinping was in Rome shooting a television show when he complained of chest pains. He was taken to the hospital, but doctors couldn't save him. The Telegraph believes that he died of heart complications, but this hasn't been confirmed.

Guinness World Records declared Pingping the smallest man alive in March 2008. Pingping measured in at 29 inches tall. The editor-in-chief of Guinness said these kind words about Pingping:

''From the moment I laid on eyes on him I knew he was someone special - he had such a cheeky smile and mischievous personality, you couldn't help but be charmed by him. He brightened up the lives of everyone he met, and was an inspiration to anyone considered different or unusual.''

Rest in peace, Pingping.

LOL! TigerLilly just asked the shamefully first thing that lurked in my mind, but yes it kind of sucks he was defined by his height at least to most of the world, and rest in peace.

I saw a doco on him. He was kind of a jerk, but maybe he was entitled. He smoked an awful lot of cigarettes.

Sorry about that "toilet drowning" comment. It must have been hard for him to live in a world of "giants."

I find small persons somewhat creepy. I need to work on my attitude.

On a related note, I hear the guy that fluffs the strippers at my favorite joint is a small person.

(In my neck of the woods, strippers bear it all.)

Did he have primordial dwarfism? I never knew he was 21, that's so sad. And I'm sure people are thinking, oh whatever, he looks old, he must not be 21.

@ joe schmoe:

On topic - word.

Off topic - thanks for the Belanger link. Nice stuff, although my two years of high school French are not enough to fully appreciate it, but I am digging the sound.

Rest in peace, He PingPing.

Apparently it's hard for people to take you seriously even in death :(

But I nevertheless totally agree with Mike that it's unfair that he's dead and the seemingly dickheaded Vern Troyer is still trolling the earth.

Did he drown in a toilet?

i have a hard enough time in a normal sized body - i'm always inspired by people who radiate the good vibes despite their challenges.

thanks for the inspiration, pingping!

Ha! I used to pull a rickshaw thru these very city streets in fact! But those people were alive. And heavy already.

And I'm not being mean. I can't help it when my head has funny thoughts spurred by charming, mischievous little men (who just happen to be dead today). I mean, maybe he shouldn't have left Ireland.

Ok, I'll stop now.

Well there could have been a worse fate than this...He(also his name) could have lost in Coco's ass. RIP Pingping.

If my calculations are correct Pingping was about 2 feet 5 inches tall. Basically, he could mount the Taco Bell Chihuahua like a horse. RIP little guy.
