WORLD'S FATTEST MAN DIES AT 38

World’s fattest man died of a Christmas Day heart attack after a week-long energy drink binge, it has been claimed.

Andres Moreno, who once weighed 445 kilograms, is said to have gorged on can after can of energy drink in the final days of his life.

Doctors believe that a “problem with his wife” triggered some sort of “emotional stress” that led to Mr Moreno dramatically abandoning a post-weight loss surgery diet.

He was found dead at his home in Ciudad Obregón, Mexico, several days later aged just 38.

“He drank more than six energy drinks a day according to his family and we believe it could be a lot more than six,” Dr Jorge Ojeda, who treated Mr Moreno said.

“As an obese man, although he was losing weight and was starting to move, exposing yourself to a stimulant can cause an irregular heartbeat, and that or a heart attack can lead to death.”

Despite being diabetic, Mr Moreno is said to have drunk the equivalent of 14 cans of sugary cola a day, more than one every hour.

The official cause of his Christmas Day death was a heart attack and problems associated with peritonitis.

At his heaviest Mr Moreno weighed 445kg, although he’d naturally lost 120kg before undergoing dramatic weight loss surgery last October.

He continued losing weight after the surgery and even received a signed Real Madrid shirt from Cristiano Ronaldo in the hope it would motivate him to stay on track.

Before his death Mr Moreno spoke of his hopes of slimming down to 76kg and being able to start a family.

Although he ate and drank a huge amount throughout his life, Mr Moreno was always larger than average, even weighing 5.9kg at birth.
