Guinness Book of World Records he is 67.5 cm (2 ft 2.58 in) tall.[1][2] He is the founder of the Osteogenesis Imperfecta Association.[3]
Other claimants
Others have also claimed the 'Shortest Man' title. He Pingping, from China, measured 73 cm (2 ft 4.74 in) high and in 2007 was crowned as the world's shortest man who could walk. In 2006, Guinness World Records disallowed an application from a then fourteen year old Nepalese boy, Khagendra Thapa Magar, who has since turned 18 and taken the title of 'World's Shortest Man'.[4]
