Shortest Man He Pingping dead

World's Shortest man He Pingping dead at his 21 years. Guinness World Records announced the 29 inches height He Pingping in 2008 March. Pingping was filming a TV program called "The Record Show" in Italy when he developed chest problems, according to media reports.

He measured 73 cm (2 ft 5 in) tall,and was the third child of a family in Huade county, in the city of Wulanchabu in northern China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. He had two sisters, both of whom developed at normal rates. According to his father, He Yun, at birth He Pingping was small enough to fit in the palm of his parent's hands. When it became apparent the child was growing very slowly, doctors diagnosed the cause as the bone deformity osteogenesis imperfecta, which hinders normal bone growth and bodily height. His name "Pingping" means wine bottle.He was a chain smoker.

"I had the pleasure of meeting Pingping back in 2008 in Inner Mongolia," said Guinness World Records Editor-in-Chief Craig Glenday, who was the first to confirm Pingping's status as the world's shortest man.
