World's fattest Man who weighed 70 stone dies at the age of 44. after successful weight loss surgery

The world's fattest man, who ballooned to 70 stone, has died at the age of 44.

Keith Martin, who died from pneumonia, had been bed-bound, unable to walk and at one point had not left his north London home for a decade.

Mr Martin admitted he knew he was killing himself by consuming 20,000 calories a day - almost 10 times the recommended amount for an adult.

He had six-egg fry-ups for breakfast then pizzas, kebabs, Chinese takeaways and Big Macs for lunch and dinner, all washed down with six pints of coffee and two litres of fizzy drinks.

Last year he had three quarters of his stomach removed and lost half his body weight.

But it has now emerged that just eight months later, in March this year, he died from pneumonia.

Keith left behind his two sisters - Sharon and Tina - who cared for him for many years leading up to his death.

Speaking from the home they shared in Harlesden, north London, Tina said: 'We're still grieving. We miss him very much.'
