Spade_Cooley 9,019 Posted September 25, 2020 As any death fan will of course know, hangman Albert Pierrepoint could guess a man's weight just by shaking his hand. Although maybe with al-Nima he'd have to use his feet as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ulitzer95 11,012 Posted January 1, 2021 27 minutes ago, Thatcher said: Barry Austin, reputedly Britain’s fattest man, has died aged 53. I had him on my longlist for years, from about 2010 onwards. Eventually gave up on the guy because he just kept going on and on. 52 is no age, but I'm actually shocked he lived that long given his size! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ulitzer95 11,012 Posted January 9, 2021 On 01/01/2021 at 19:05, Thatcher said: Barry Austin, reputedly Britain’s fattest man, has died aged 52. Obituaries: Daily Mirror, The Sun, Daily Mail GoFundMe page set up by Austin's friends to raise money for a funeral. Likely because the coffin will need to be custom made (and that's not me pulling a cruel joke, that's actually true in the cases of morbidly obese people). The page confirms he died of a cardiac arrest. Something he was warned about in the Richard Hammond documentary on him from about a decade ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,012 Posted November 4, 2021 Paul Mason wasn’t too keen on being roasted like a pig postmortem. The former world’s fattest man, who once tipped the scales at nearly 1,000 pounds, claims that his UK hospital ward had planned to cremate him in a slaughterhouse if he died due to his massive size, the Daily Mail reported. He detailed the inhumane idea in the ITV documentary “The World’s Fattest Man: 10 Years On.” SC 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
