Life ended, Half-ton Mexican man dies after pleading for help
990-pound bedridden man who had appealed on Mexican television for help tackling his weight problem died because of heart failure,
Emergency officials had to knock down Jose Luis Garza’s bedroom wall and load him onto the back of a friend’s pickup truck as he fought for his life.
Garza followed in the footsteps of the world’s fattest man, fellow Mexican Manuel Uribe of Monterrey, by taking his weight problem public. Garza lived about an hour away from Uribe in the town of Juarez. Uribe tried to help Garza by sending him kiwis, grapefruit, pears and a protein supplement. Uribe’s fiancee, Claudia Solis, delivered the food
Uribe, whose record weight of 1,230 pounds earned him a place in the 2008 Guinness Book of Records, has claimed to have lost around 550 pounds by following the Zone Diet

Hearing such things as someone dying while trying to lose weight is heartbreaking. It also tells that everyone can’t follow the same diet. “Whats good for the Gander is not always good for the Goose”. My heart goes out to his family.
