[Neil Fingleton, ‘Mag the Mighty’ on _Game Of Thrones_, has died at 36](http://uk.blastingnews.com/showbiz-tv/2017/02/game-of-thrones-actor-dead-at-36-001505367.html)

> Fingleton’s cause of death has yet to be confirmed by the representative who announced that he had passed, however, some reports are coming in that it was heart failure. The behemoth actor, who was just shy of 7 feet and 8 inches tall and weighed 370 lb, must’ve taken some maintenance from his organs and immune system to keep him ticking away.

I saw this on the AP earlier today and was shocked that Mag the Mighty was not 100% CGI. It never occurred to me that there was an actor who could pull off that role.

RIP Mr. Fingleton.
