World's tallest woman dies at 40


The world's tallest woman Yao Defen, who measured a gigantic 7ft 8in (2.36m), passed away last month aged just 40.
At her peak, she also weighed over 31 stone (200kg) and had size 26 feet.
She reportedly died on the morning of November 13 in her hometown of Zhucheng, eastern China.
Born in 1972, Yao developed gigantism due to a tumor on her pituitary gland. By the age of 15, she stood at over two metres tall.
