John F. Carroll (1932–1969) was one of 23 known people in medical history to have reached a height of 8 feet (240 cm) or more. He suffered from severe, 2-dimensional spinal curvature (Kyphoscoliosis) and acromegalic gigantism. He had a standing height of 8 ft 1⁄4 in (244 cm) on October 14, 1959, at age 27, but according to calculations by an engineer, his height would have been 8 ft 8 in (264 cm), assuming normal curvature of the spine. He was later measured at 7 ft 10+1⁄2 in (240 cm) in 1968, having shrunk in stature due to his worsening spinal condition.

  • John F. Carroll, född 1932, död 1969, var en amerikansk man som med sin längd 264 cm är den tredje längsta dokumenterade människan någonsin. Han led av gigantism, vilket orsakas av onormalt stor ökning av tillväxthormon. John F. Carroll föddes i Buffalo och är även känd som Buffalo Giant i medicinsk litteratur. Han började växa i snabb takt vid 16 års ålder ända fram till sin död. (sv)

Er war 264 cm groß, hatte aber eine Stehhöhe von nur 244 cm, da er eine Krümmung an der Wirbelsäule hatte. Im Jahre 1968 schrumpfte er auf 239 cm, weil sich der Zustand seines Rückens verschlechtert hatte. Kurz vor seinem Tod im Jahre 1968 hatte er eine Stehhöhe von 234 cm.
