Chandra Bahadur Dangi, who was just 21 inches tall (54.6 cm), has died at age 75. Dangi is seen in this photo with Sultan Kosen, the world's tallest man at 8' 2" tall (2.48 meters), when the pair met in London in November.
Guinness World Records deemed Dangi the shortest adult human ever recorded in history in 2012, and before then he had never left his remote village of Reemkholi, Nepal.
