One of the tallest men in the world is living in a London care home and battling a serious illness.

Hussein Bisad, 46, became famous in 2002 when he claimed to be the world's tallest man.

However, when it came to being measured by Guinness World Records he was found to be 7ft 5in, which was short of Turkey's Sultan Kösen who stands at 8ft 2in.

Now he has had to put his life on hold over the last five years due to a life-threatening illness in which he needs dialysis three times daily, MyLondon reports.
