One of world’s fattest men dies, aged 48

A Mexican man once listed as the world’s heaviest human being has died at the age of 48.

Manuel Uribe had slimmed down to about 867 pounds (394 kilograms), well below his then-record peak weight of 1,230 pounds (560 kilograms), which was certified in 2006 as a Guinness World Record.

Uribe had been confined to his bed in Monterrey for years.
