Half-ton Mexican man dies after pleading for help
Half-ton Mexican man dies after pleading for help
10/7/08

Quote:
JUAREZ, Mexico - A 990-pound bedridden man who had appealed on Mexican television for help tackling his weight problem died Tuesday of heart failure, his family said.
Emergency officials had to knock down Jose Luis Garza's bedroom wall and load him onto the back of a friend's pickup truck as he fought for his life. The 47-year-old was pronounced dead on arrival at a hospital in northern Mexico.
Garza followed in the footsteps of the world's fattest man, fellow Mexican Manuel Uribe of Monterrey, by taking his weight problem public. Garza lived about an hour away from Uribe in the town of Juarez.

Oh my, it said he had started over eating 9 months ago! I wonder what he weighed then? It's a sad story for sure.

Sad
They did a series on cable about him and his quest to lose weight and walk, or just be able to leave the room he lived in
He was doing pretty good via the zone diet

I just don't understand wanting to eat that much. How can you be that depressed.

I think that you have the dead guy confused with the other guy. The record winner is still alive.
