He was 7 foot 7 inches tall and a wonderful human being. |
This could be in sports rather than Entertainment but I suppose this could pass as entertainment. 
I agree with him being a wonderful human being though.

It looks like he may have died indirectly because of his work on the continent:

I wasn't sure if I should post this in the sports section or not. Someone can move it to the sports section if they want. I just wasn't sure since he's a retired basketball player and is really most known for his work off the court.
