Subscribe to ITN News: http://bit.ly/1bmWO8h Friends and family have paid their final respects to the world's heaviest man, Manuel Uribe, who died in Mexico on Monday after spending twenty days in hospital. The 48-year-old once tipped the scales at 560 kilos after a diet of pizzas and burgers in the United States, earning him a Guinness World Records title. He was reportedly taken to hospital by crane due to an abnormal heartbeat. Unable to find a suitable coffin for his large size, he had to be transported to the funeral home in Monterrey on the back of a truck. Report by Jeremy Barnes.

  1. I felt sad to hear Manuel had passed away. He had so much faith and happiness that he was on his way to a healthy life with his beautiful wife beside him. He also had a wonderful close family, I'm sure their hearts are still missing him terribly, especially his awesome smile. 💕
  2. He was an amazing person......The Whole 1/2 ton of him 👍🏼
  3. the thing that pissed me off about this guy, he CHOOSE to stuff his face with fast food while living in America, then put the blame on America because he made the choice to stuff his face with it. NOBODY told him to eat it. Then he goes back to Mexico and eats even MORE disgusting fatten food. He killed himself by his own decisions and his family in Mexico fed him that garbage and got him even fatter.
  4. Awwww such a nice guy beautiful smile very sweet man I'm so sorry this happen to him I am. Always smiling always happy 😊
  5. I know it's wrong to do so, but I can't not feel sorry for him. Rest in peace, Manuel. I couldn't understand your language in the documentary but I know you were a fucking positive human being. Hope you get an amazing life next time.
  6. His poor pallbearers
    All 45 of them
  7. Gone to the Big McDonalds in the sky...
  8. Eating one apple a day that's starvation

  10. Damn.. who's the cute lady at 0:23
  11. rest in peace Manuel!!!!
  12. fat ass killed himself
  13. I can't believe all of the ignorant comments on this video. I hope each of you gets badly injured in a car accident and has to go on pills that make you gain weight as a side effect. And then go back and read your comments about how "he made his bed and now he has to lie in it." Or even better - go shoot yourself and let God judge you as a human being.
  14. Wow,Lisa I read your comment,I'm sorry to hear that but everybody's case is different.
  15. I said may he rest in piece,y ya.
  16. blah Lisa vega. sad u don't know about him,do ur research.
  17. 😭😭😭😭😭😭 oh Manuel pq vc não se cuidou antes ? não precisava ter ido tão cedo
  18. I guess he wanted the be the fattest man vet the attention but when he wanted to loose weight it was too late. May he rest in peace. Being in The World Book Of Guiness Records aint worth getting that big.
  19. hard to believe how someone could let themselves get up to 1200? you think he'd realize after 350lb theres a problem
  20. I was really looking forward to seeing him walk again. What a great guy he must have been, though.
