Manute Bol passed away yesterday on June 19th 2010 at the age of 47. For those of you who don't know him, read this article.....

He was 7 foot 7 inches tall and a wonderful human being. He blocked 397 shots in his rookie season and recorded 2,086 blocks in 624 games.

This could be in sports rather than Entertainment but I suppose this could pass as entertainment. Rolling Eyes

I agree with him being a wonderful human being though.

Prichard said it’s believed Bol contracted the skin disease as a reaction to kidney medication he took while in Africa.


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.
