Patrick Cotter O'Brien, Irish Giant
Patrick Cotter O'Brien (January 19, 1760, September 8, 1806) was the first of only seventeen people in medical history to stand at a verified height of eight feet or more. O'Brien was born in Kinsale, County Cork, Ireland. His real name was Patrick Cotter and he adopted O'Brien as his stage name in the sideshow circus, claiming descent from the legendarily gigantic Brian Boru. He was also known as the Bristol Giant and the Irish Giant. It is believed that he died from the effects of the disease gigantism. No hearse could be found to accommodate his nine feet four inch casket encased in lead, and his remains were borne to the grave by relays of fourteen men. In his will, Cotter left a 2, 000 to his mother and a request that his body be entombed within twelve feet of solid rock (to prevent exhumation for scientific or medical research).
