A young woman known for her extreme height has died under unusual circumstances, aged just 23
Online star Xiao Mo of Shaoyang, China stood 7.5ft tall and boasted more than 152,000 followers on video social media platform Douyin.
She reportedly died on January 15 after succumbing to complications from a cold she had recently caught.
Mo was popular on Douyin, China’s version of TikTok, for her videos documenting her daily life, and was sometimes referred to as “Hunan’s No. 1 Giantess”, local media reports.
Many were intrigued by her height – she was four centimetres taller than NBA star Yao Ming.
She is said to have had a difficult upbringing, having been abandoned by her mother and raised by her grandparents.
According to Chinese media, Mo suffered a range of underlying health conditions, such as heart and sight issues, which were connected to her extreme height.
She was reportedly cremated – and it is believed her father, who she did not have a good relationship with, is yet to collect her ashes from the crematorium.
