Julius Koch (1872 – March 30, 1902), also known as Le Geant Constantin, was one of seventeen people in medical history who have surpassed eight feet in height. He was a victim of the malady eunuchoidal-infantile gigantism (daddy-longlegs syndrome). His height, 245.9 centimeters, (8 feet, 0.8 inches) was estimated, as his legs were amputated after they developed gangrene.
