I think I remember seeing him on a documentary. Nice looking man. Lovely smile. Hope he's in heaven, free from the burdens of this imperfect life.

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.

At that weight, I wonder if his height and width were about equal? Also, how do you get someone like that to a hospital?
When you die in Email, you spend eternity in Nigeria.
He led a full life.
She was his caretaker.
A lot of chalupas too!
88 stones is the same as 352 pebbles.
They should have rolled him across the border. Then he could get free healthcare for his heart AND a sex change.
I wonder how many stones Michael Moore weighs?
“He will be missed,” said Email Mayor Manuel Labor.
“He provided shade for many Emailians in the summer.”
Make sure to double delete him. That’s gonna take up some hard drive space.
I wonder how many stones Michael Moore weighs?
His weight is measured in turds.
Abnormal heartbeat, imagine that.
LOL!
You fire retro rockets and wait for re-entry
Maybe so. I just wonder if atmospheric friction and drag would slow him down enough for a safe descent into the hospital?
I meant the hospital would orbit him but I was tired and stupid when I wrote it
Hubby was a firefighter for 33 years. They had a guy like this that they made calls on all the time. Finally one day a call came in and they had to cut out the side of the trailer he lived in to carry him out. He was dead.
8 1/2 illegals. They eat better once they get here.
RIP.
