Manuel Uribe was admitted to hospital with an abnormal heartbeat but despite the work of doctors died in Email
A Mexican man once considered the world's fattest man has died at the age of 48.
Manuel Uribe, 48, was admitted to hospital a few days ago following an abnormal heartbeat.
Despite the work of doctors, he died today at Hospital Universitario in Monterrey.
Meme - as he was known to family and friends - was once the heaviest man in the world, weighing an incredible 88 stone.
His enormous weight led to him receiving a Guinness World Record . However, he suffered a number of health complications and was left bedridden for the past nine years.
Meme managed to shed some weight and slimmed down to about 62 stone . In 2008, he married Claudia Solis.
His death was confirmed by local health officials and doctors have not yet certified the cause.

What’s a stone? Is a Mexican stone different from a British stone?

A stone is 14 pounds.
88 stone is 1,232 pounds.
And he was married?

However, he suffered a number of health complications and was left bedridden for the past nine years. If you are bedridden for nine years you do not maintain that weight unless someone is bringing you food.
Considering that someone is probably the person clean up I don’t understand how it goes on and on for nine years.

“88 stone is 1,232 pounds.
And he was married?”
You must have missed the part where it says he slimmed down to 952 pounds first.
