From Times Wire Services
OPORTO, Portugal — A man who was only 2-feet, 5-inches tall has died of a lung infection at the age of 46 at his home in this northern city, relatives said Saturday.
Antonio Lopes Ferreira, who died Friday, claimed to be the smallest living man. But the Guinness Book of World Records said in its 1988 edition that that title belongs to Nelson del la Rosa, 21, of the Dominican Republic, who stood only 2-feet, 4.5-inches tall.
