Neil Fingleton, the U.K.’s tallest man and an actor who appeared in Game Of Thrones and Doctor Who, has died. That comes from The Guardian, which lists his cause of death as heart failure. Fingleton was 36.
Fingleton was born in England in 1980, but moved to the United States as a teenager after attending a basketball camp and realizing he wanted to pursue the sport more seriously. At more than seven feet tall, Fingleton quickly took to basketball and stuck with it through college, eventually reaching the semi-professional American Basketball Association and then the NBA Development League. His basketball career ended due to an injury in 2007, though, so he decided to return to England and pursue an acting career.
