TL;DR: Brother with height insecurities gets rich off cryptocurrency, pays for leg extension surgery, dies rather suddenly of pulmonary embolism during recovery.
There is more then that, like why did he want the operation and why did him and his sister fall apart, we are imperfect creatures and some/most of us care too much about what society(or some group of people) thinks about us.
We spend a lot of time reading or watching fictional stories but I always enjoy reading about real life stories, things that most of the time are not told, try to empathize with the people in the story etc.
There was rather more to him - and the article - than that, and I found myself rather moved by the way the author described her brother's life. By contrast, your comment seems unkind and unnecessary.
