Tallest woman in the world dies
World's tallest woman dies in Indiana at age 53
Slideshow: World's tallest woman dies at 53
INDIANAPOLIS – A woman who grew to be 7 feet, 7 inches tall and was recognized as the world's tallest female died Wednesday, a friend said. She was 53.
Sandy Allen, who used her height to inspire schoolchildren to accept those who are different, died at a nursing home in her hometown of Shelbyville, family friend Rita Rose said.
The cause of death was not yet known. Allen had been hospitalized in recent months as she suffered from a recurring blood infection, along with diabetes, breathing troubles and kidney failure, Rose said.
In London, Guinness World Records spokesman Damian Field confirmed Wednesday that Allen was still listed as the tallest woman. Some Web sites cite a 7-foot-9 woman from China.
Coincidentally, Allen lived in the same nursing home, Heritage House Convalescent Center, as 115-year-old Edna Parker, whom Guinness has recognized as the world's oldest person since August 2007.
Allen said a tumor caused her pituitary gland to produce too much growth hormone. She underwent an operation in 1977 to stop further growth.
But she was proud of her height, Rose said. "She embraced it," she said. "She used it as a tool to educate people."

This is my family in Maine you can see the ocean behind us, even though maine was extremely pretty it was also extremely cold! But thats just on land, the water is freezing! I never went swimming but i did fall of the boat lol! But theres a lot more to maine than coldness and a great view. Theres great ice cream, if you guys think the ice cream from texas is good you should try the ice cream in maine. Maine is called vacationland, but i think it should be called the ice cream state lol. If you have any questions about my trip just post a comment and i'll tell you the answer!
