One Of The World's Fattest Men Has Passed Away

Jose Luis Garza, one of the fattest men in the world, has passed on to the great all-you-can-eat buffet in the sky. Jose is NOT to be confused with Manuel Uribe, the world's fattest man who recently got engaged.

Jose was bedridden in his home in Juarez, Mexico. He recently went on Mexican television and asked for her help. Manuel, who lost 550 pounds himself, regularly spoke to Jose on the phone and was trying to help him lose weight. This past Friday, Manuel even sent his new fiancee to Jose's home with fruits and a protein supplement.

Some of Jose's family members have criticized officials for not moving Jose to a hospital before he became critically ill. Over the weekend, Jose complained about having trouble breathing and eating. Emergency officials finally transported him to the hospital yesterday, but it was too late. He was pronounced dead on arrival at the age of 47. He weighed 990-pounds.

Jose was buried yesterday in a specially made coffin.

Rest in peace, Jose...

Very sad.
Morbid obesity is a serious disease.
Maybe we can all learn something from this; the next time one of us overly neurotic ladies go on about wanting to lose five more pounds....
just think of those in WAY worse shape.

Call me a bitch, but I don't feel sorry for these EXTREMELY morbidly obese people. I have no sympathy for someone who has just continued to eat junk food, not exercise, and ignore their doctors' advice. Unless they have some sort of glandular problem, it's their own damn fault.

That being said, it is always sad when someone passes away - my thoughts are with his family.

On that happy note... GOOD MORNING ALL.

RIP Jose. I wonder if you're this big and you are buried, it's like when you fly on a plane, you have to buy two seats. Do you think you have to buy two cemetary plots for the specially made coffin?

*******************
Did you say, "he was E-moaning?!"

Rest in peace.

It's a shame he did not get the help he needed. He's human, we all are, and he needed help, and nobody was there.

Sorry to hear.

Sad b/c his "condition" was incredibly preventable.

How can you thank God for a song that the Devil helped you write?

Damn it, I give up; I just SENT this to MK and still get no acknowledgement...and yes, it IS sad. At least he was trying, you know? I read he started binge eating after his mother died...

Love me or hate me
It's still an obsession
Love me or hate me
That is the question
And if you love me then 'thank you'
And if you hate me then 'f--- you'
