Death to Robert Wadlow
Submitted by admin
Welcome to Manistee, the place where the tallest man ever died.
On July 4, 1940, during a professional appearance at the Manistee National Forest Festival, a faulty brace irritated his ankle, leading to infection. He was treated with a blood transfusion and surgery, but his condition worsened and he died in his sleep on July 15.
