One Of The World's Fattest Men Has Died At The Age Of 39 by oloriooko(m): 10:14am On May 24, 2013
ONE of the world's fattest men has died at the age of 39 – weighing a staggering 64 stone (407 kg).

Ricky Naputi piled on the pounds thanks to a gut-busting diet of 10,000 calories a day.

He grew so fat he was left bedridden in his home on the Pacific island of Guam for FIVE YEARS – being cared for around the clock by his wife Cheryl.

Ricky was offered life-saving surgery and a TV crew from US network TLC who followed him for three years as he battled to lose enough weight to travel to a hospital in the US.

But he ran out of time and died in November 2012 – before the footage of his plight could be aired.

Ricky's story was finally told this week in a moving documentary that charted his weight battle and his touching relationship with Cheryl.

So sad! sad.
He should have gone for a gastric bypass surgery as early as
possible perhaps his life would have been saved.
RIP.

sirantonio: He was a dead man walking
Did he told you that he walked?
Read the post again...,he can't walk, was bedridden. Can those legs carry such heavy load?
