theoldlady 2,301 Posted January 6, 2018 I just did one of those when will I die calculators for a friend of mine who is 75 and over-weight. The result was that he had been dead already for 2 Years! In Norway the common thought is that it is better to be `over-weight` than too thin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted January 10, 2018 He was a fat ass, this is the thread he belongs in. Fat kid, virtual certainty a fat adult. Died of sleep apnea, from fat folds of fat in his fat nostrils choking him. Actor Joseph Wayne Miller who appeared in the 1990s Disney movie “Heavyweights,” died at the age of 36. Miller’s mother, Patricia, said that he died in his sleep in Chicago on Tuesday, Jan. 9. The cause of death is not yet known (though his mother goes on about sleep apnea), and his girlfriend reportedly discovered his big huge fat dead body.

Spade_Cooley 9,527 Posted February 19, 2019 Sean Milliken, topped the scales at 900lbs, dead at 29. Despite only appearing on one episode of My 600-lb Life he was one of the more controversial figures in the show's history, as he showed little interest in taking care of himself. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any standard form of execution would need modifying for that BMI, right? Yes, there's such a fine balance between too short a drop (strangulation), just right (neck broken and instant death) and too long a drop (decapitation). Any executioner taking pride in their work wants to get things right, but I'm not sure if the 'long drop' formula worked out by executioner Marwood in 1892 takes into account a 40 stone candidate. http://www.capitalpunishmentuk.org/longdrop.html Even then there are variables, 2007 DDP alumni Barzan al-Tikriti was apparently decapitated during his execution not because the length of the drop was wrong, but because he had untreated spinal cancer I suspect the detained IS cleric will have lost a fair bit of weight by now anyway. It would be hard to maintain a waistline like that in jail I should think. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
