Meet The World's Fattest Man Who Lives In London

A Briton who devours eight hotdogs for breakfast has won the dubious accolade of being named the world’s fattest man.

Keith Martin, 42, tips the scales at 58 stone, and is so large that he is bed-ridden.

His needs are putting an extra drain on NHS resources and costing the
taxpayer thousands of pounds as he requires an army of 18 medical
professionals to look after him, including ambulance staff, carers and
nurses.



Eight ambulance workers must be on
hand to help hoist his giant frame to a reinforced vehicle for frequent
hospital visits close to his home in Harlesden, North-West London.

Trips for health checks are the only occasions in the past ten years on which
he has left his bed.

He also requires four carers to visit him twice a
day and four nurses three times a week to wash him and monitor his
health as his staggering weight is putting massive strain on his heart
and other internal organs.

Medics say he would need to shed half his bulk before he could even be considered for a gastric band to aid his weight loss.

Mr Martin took the crown of heaviest man on the planet after the previous
title-holder – a 90-stone Mexican – went on a crash diet. Manuel Uribe,
44, is still listed as the heaviest man in the Guinness Book of Records
but is believed to have shrunk to a relatively svelte 31st 6lb.

Mr Martin has also overtaken another former world’s heaviest man, fellow
Brit Paul Mason.

Mr Mason, a 51-year-old former postman
from Ipswich, slimmed down from 70st to 49st after being warned he was
dangerously close to death.

At the height of his binge-eating, Mr Mason would consume in excess of
20,000 calories per day and would be wheeled to local takeaways daily by
his carers.

By 2002, he was so big that a 5ft window at his former home had to be removed and a
forklift truck brought in to lift him when he needed to go to hospital
for a hernia operation.
