Jaime Clemente Izquierdo was the tallest man in Spain before his death in 2005. Biography Jaime Clemente was born in 1961 in Pina de Montalgrao, Castellón province. He suffered from eunuchoidal-infantile gigantism. Most of what little is known about him was documented in a 1991 interview with Canal 9, the Valencian community public TV station, in which he highlighted the incommodities of his stature and the burden it meant to his economically-deprived family. For example, most of his clothes were custom made. He tried to join a basketball team when he was 12 years old but he was not successful due to physical limitations. Blocked from a sports career, he lived largely out of the public eye and run a kiosk to sustain himself. He died in Valencia in 2005, aged 44. |
