Remember tony nicklinson the man with locked in syndrome?

According too sources tony was 6ft4 inches tall. Do you think his stature was the cause of him getting locked in syndrome? Exceptionally tall people over 6ft can develop heart issues and problems with there limbs later in life. The heart having too pump blood around a 6ft4 body can be difficult.

Do u think I make a good point or not? Its probably an overlooked cause as too why tony had a stroke.

I don't think so, as 6'4" is tall, but not exceptionally tall - IMO.

I'm 6'2" or so and it seems that the new normal for guys is to be around 6' or taller & there are a lot of younger guys (I'm 30) that are a lot taller than me. People are getting taller and taller, so 6'4" isn't exceptionally tall and a height that would put more strain on the heart to circulate blood IMO.

However, maybe there will be more heart & stroke problems because people are getting taller and taller.. never know, maybe 6'4"+ is a body size that our hearts weren't meant to power. Time will tell.
