Charles Byrne, better known as the “Irish Giant,” stood over 7 feet tall due to a pituitary tumor that caused gigantism. Fearing dissection after death, Byrne requested to be buried at sea. Instead, his body was secretly purchased, stolen from his funeral procession, and skeletonized by surgeon John Hunter. Over 240 years later, his remains remain at the center of one of anatomy’s most debated ethical controversies.#museumtiktokcontest #internationalmuseumday #museumtok
