“Sadly for Patrick his disposition brought him the wrong kind of attention and ended being brought into the circus business and dragged and paraded all around Europe branded as the world tallest man. One has to feel great sympathy for the poor fellow to be so unfairly extorted due to just being different. He finally passed away after catching typhoid and died in Marseilles. He was however brought home and laid to rest in Kilbroney Graveyard.”

Perhaps not as tall as advertised

“Although it was claimed he was 8 Feet and 1 inch!
The famous German physician Dr Rudolph Virchow known as the “Father of Pathology” measured Patrick in 1860 sadly three months before he died.
He recorded his height at 7 feet 2.4 inches and weight at 24 stone”
