McGrory Dies at 32
5/17/73-8/9/05
I am sad today. Matthew McGrory had a short acting career, but it will always be a memorable one to me. After being a recurring attraction on the Howard Stern show, his first acting gig was in Marilyn Manson's "Coma White" video. May he rest in peace.
From IMDb.com:
Actor Matthew McGrory died at home in Los Angeles on Tuesday. He was 32. Police say the huge star, who was over seven foot tall, passed away from natural causes. McGrory became an actor after appearing on New York DJ Howard Stern's radio show in the 1990s. He starred in films including Big Fish, Men In Black II, House Of 1000 Corpses and its recent sequel, The Devil's Rejects.

As far as I know, he didn't have any sort of medical condition. I don't have any concrete facts available right now, but I've heard of people of that size dying young (or at least much younger than the average human lifespan). Perhaps the human body just can't handle being that massive.
Oh man!!! That's so sad :-( For obvious reasons, he was sort of a heroic figure for me.
RIP Mr. McG.
