Coney Islander Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Joe Rollino, Strongman Who Lifted 475 Pounds with Teeth, Struck Dead by Van at 104 - Crimesider - CBS News NEW YORK (CBS/AP) Joe Rollino was strong enough to lift 635 pounds with one finger and 475 pounds with his teeth, but the Coney Island strongman, couldn't beat a swerving minivan. Joe Rollino - once dubbed the "World's Strongest Man" - died Monday at 104. Rollino was struck as he crossed a major street in Brooklyn, and suffered a broken pelvis, head trauma and broken ribs. He died a few hours later at an area hospital. Police said the driver was going the speed limit and had not been drinking. No criminality is suspected, but the driver was issued a summons for a defective horn. Quote
