Record's[]
He was one of only 16 individuals in medical history to have stood 8 feet (244 cm) or more. Coyne may have reached a height of 8 feet 4 inches (2.54 m) tall at the time of his death in 1921. His World War I draft registration card, dated on August 29, 1918, lists his height as 8 feet (244 cm). The Guinness Book of World Records stated that he was refused induction into the Army (1918) when he stood at a height of 7 feet 9 inches (236 cm).
He was the tallest person in the world at the time of his death when, like Robert Wadlow, he was still growing. He reportedly wore size 24 (American) shoes.
Bernard Coyne died in 1921. He is buried in Anthon, in specially made large coffin.
