According to news on May 4, local time, Jason Holton, who is considered "the heaviest man in Britain", died at the age of 33.
According to reports, Holden, who had been at home for eight years, weighed 47 stone (about 600 pounds) and eventually died of "organ failure", leaving behind her heartbroken mother, Lesa Holden.
"He may have had his life hanging by a thread eight times, and I thought the doctors would be able to save him again, but unfortunately they didn't," Ms. Holden said after her son's death.
Holden, who lives in Camberley, Surrey, was taken to a hospital in Surrey after his mother found him having difficulty breathing, but was in critical condition.
After the examination, the doctor issued a "critical illness notice", informing Holden that due to organ failure, he had to face the end of dying within a week.
"Jason's health went downhill very quickly, he received kidney dialysis and intravenous drips, but his kidneys were no longer working," his mother said.
After his death, the coroner's report revealed that Holden had died of "organ failure and obesity."
By the way, Holden's journey to the hospital was also fraught with hardships, as he was already unable to move on his own, so firefighters had to intervene and six firefighters carried him out of the room.
The scene was two years ago, when Holden was still living in a three-story building and needed to go to the hospital because of a sudden fainting, and it took the fire brigade 30 firefighters to move him out of the apartment building for seven hours. "The most devastating moment of my life," Holden said after sobering up.
Holden then moved into a converted bungalow with specially reinforced beds, and not only that, but also the floor.
At the time of his death, Holden weighed 600 pounds, but this was not his fattest time, and he had to weigh more than 30 pounds at his peak compared to now.
The reason for this heaviness is also due to eating disorders, although he rarely moves in bed, Holden eats four times the daily calorie intake of the average British man, up to 10,000 calories, and he even eats skewers and chips for breakfast, in addition to pies.
In short, what can stimulate the taste buds is what he eats, of course, those things are almost always high-calorie, even if he also "discreetly" supplemented with Diet Coke.
In an interview, Holden blamed his overeating on childhood misfortunes.
His father died when he was just over 3 years old, and he has been living with his mother ever since. "If I had my father by my side, maybe he would have made rules about what I ate and how much I ate to stop me from putting too much in my mouth," Holden said.
It is reported that Holden began to binge eat when he was a teenager, and he said that he was bullied at school at that time and caused psychological problems, "which is the root cause of my irrepressible weight gain, and only by constantly eating can I be relieved"
Holden said that he had also reduced his diet, but it didn't work, so he simply continued to overeat.
And because of his heavy body, Holden has no job even when he is an adult, so he can only rely on welfare funds to make ends meet. According to the Daily Mail, his health care alone costs taxpayers hundreds of thousands of pounds.
The loss of life is certainly sad, especially for Holden's mother, but in the eyes of many British netizens, Holden can have such an experience, which is inseparable from his mother's ignorance and connivance, "She didn't find out her son's problem in time, and then supported her son to eat so much unhealthy food, which is also a kind of cruelty." ”
