A Chinese man who was the world's shortest human has died.

He Pingping from northern Inner Mongolia - who at 74.6 cm held the record for being the world's smallest man - died of heart complications aged 21, whilst in the middle of filming a TV show about his height in Italy.

For such a small man, he made a huge impact around the world.

The dwarf - who was a chain smoker - stopped growing by the time he was 18 and has officially held the record since 2008.

Guinness World Records editor-in-chief Craig Glenday said: "For such a small man, he made a huge impact around the world."
