Friends and family have paid their final respects to the world's heaviest man, Manuel Uribe, who died in Mexico this week after spending twenty days in the 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.
