[url]http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/health/world-heaviest-man-dies-48-article-1.1805988[/url] [QUOTE]The Mexican man had been confined to his bed for years. Doctors have not yet certified the cause of death. 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, well below his then-record peak weight of 1,230 pounds, which was certified in 2006 as a Guinness World Record. Uribe's death was confirmed Monday by an official of the health department of Nuevo Leon state, where the city of Monterrey is located. Uribe had been confined to his bed in Monterrey for years, unable to walk on his own. [/QUOTE] [t]http://i.imgur.com/FH7aIkR.jpg[/T]

Actually I take that back.

[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;44916964]I feel with his relatives and also whoever will have to handle that corpse at morgue. I hope they don't get back problems from it.[/QUOTE] They'll just use 2 forklifts.

[QUOTE=Martele;44917065]They'll just use 2 forklifts.[/QUOTE] In all seriousness they will probably use a crane.

I find it ironic that we try and fight obesity and glorify it at the same time.

I thought the typical disposal method was using dynamite?

[QUOTE=Cows Rule;44917097]I find it ironic that we try and fight obesity and glorify it at the same time.[/QUOTE] Wrong country.

[QUOTE=Robman8908;44917105]Wrong country.[/QUOTE] If you're implying what I think you're implying, Mexico is fatter than the UK and the USA.

Never mind.

[QUOTE=Cows Rule;44917097]I find it ironic that we try and fight obesity and glorify it at the same time.[/QUOTE] Where is it being glorified?

live fat die young

[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;44917123]I am not trying to be funny, I am seriously concerned about the logistical issues with moving a 400kg corpse. How do you even dispose of something so huge at once?[/QUOTE] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkZottYDpEE[/media]

[quote=BusterBluth]Where is it being glorified?[/quote] I consider the fact that he was declared a record holder to be glorification. I really don't intend to start an argument, I just find it ironic. Of course Mexico might not necessarily have the same campaign to fight obesity as the US so my comment might've been just a bit uninformed, but I think it still holds some weight.

The ambulocetus has passed on.

Take him out of water and let the gas from decomposing do the work :v

"Not sure of his cause of death" I FUCKIN' WONDER?

Why was he so fat even? Did he have a condition or did he just eat that much

It must suck to shed nearly half of your weight and still be fat as fuck.

wtf I seriously thought he was already dead.

[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;44917123]I am not trying to be funny, I am seriously concerned about the logistical issues with moving a 400kg corpse. How do you even dispose of something so huge at once?[/QUOTE] Saw the corpse up into several pieces and incinerate it one by one. The main concern would be to burn all of the fat first, the rest should probably be significantly easier.

man I hope they put him deep under so that when he pops it doesn't do anything above ground

[QUOTE=k2.;44918681]man I hope they put him deep under so that when he pops it doesn't do anything above ground[/QUOTE] Yep, a corpse that large anywhere not thought out would be a gargantuan biological hazard.

[QUOTE=ZakkShock;44918043]"Not sure of his cause of death" I FUCKIN' WONDER?[/QUOTE] I'm curious about the specific mechanism ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That came out of the blue, haven't heard of him in at least two years now. I believe he got married and all.
