World’s Tallest Woman Dies at Age 53
The world’s tallest woman, Sandy Allen, died early this morning at a nursing home in Shelbyville, Ind., at the age of 53.
No cause of death has been released, but a family friend said Allen had been sick for several months. She had been hospitalized for a recurring blood infection, along with diabetes, breathing troubles and kidney failure, Rita Rose said.
Allen, who was 7-foot-7, is listed by the Guinness Book of World Records as the tallest living woman, and has appeared in the publication since the mid-1970s.
