Photos: World’s Fattest Man Passes On At The Age Of 44 From Pneumonia

The world’s fattest man is dead.Keith Martin who had held the record of being the world’s fattest man apparently died from pneumonia at the age of 44. According to Daily Mail Keith had previously gone for weight loss surgery in which he lost half of his weight after he was unable to walk and could not leave his house for close to ten years.

Mr Martin admitted he knew he was killing himself by consuming 20,000 calories a day – almost 10 times the recommended amount for an adult. He had six-egg fry-ups for breakfast then pizzas, kebabs, Chinese takeaways and Big Macs for lunch and dinner, all washed down with six pints of coffee and two litres of fizzy drinks. Last year he had three quarters of his stomach removed and lost half his body weight.

Keith left behind his two sisters – Sharon and Tina – who cared for him for many years leading up to his death. Speaking from the home they shared in Harlesden, north London, Tina said: ‘We’re still grieving. We miss him very much.
