New Delhi: Paul Manson was once the world's fattest man weighing in at a staggering 70 stone and consuming up to 20,000 calories a day.
As his weight soared he was left unable to stand or walk before finally becoming bed-ridden and being looked after full time by council carers.
His weight made him quit his job as a postman because it prevented him from completing his deliveries.
Firefighters had to demolish the front wall of his former home so they could drive a fork lift truck inside to lift him out and put him into an ambulance when he needed a hernia operation in 2002.
