How did Manute Bol stop from getting run over?

Manute Bol has died. I guess being 7' 7" is not healthy. Did he even weigh 200 Lbs?

 

I heard he died from kidney failure, 47 yrs old? need to verify that.

Is that photo altered? He looks like one of the big aliens that emerged from the space ship in Close Encounters, doesn't he?

 

his playing weight was 225 lbs or thereabouts, which is thinner on a BMI-scale than a female runway model. it would be the same as a 6'0 male being 100 lbs.
