Chandra Bahadur Dangi, who was considered the smallest man on Earth, died at the age of seventy-six. Seven days he was hospitalized back due to pneumonia. And here it is not gone.

Moreover, according to statistics, such people do not live long, and this midget and at seventy felt fine and still working helping his family, and at seventy-two he even became world celebrity and went to travel the world.
