THE world’s fattest man has died of a heart attack after bingeing on energy drinks.
THE world’s fattest man has died of a heart attack after bingeing on energy drinks.
Andres Moreno, a pal of football star Cristiano Ronaldo, once weighed 70stone.
But the 38-year-old Mexican recently dieted to lose 19st so he could have stomach bypass surgery.
Despite being diabetic, though, Andres continued downing more than six sugary energy drinks every day.
Experts said it was the equivalent of a person with no health problems drinking 42 cans of Coca Cola in 72 hours.
His GP Dr Jorge Ojeda said: “He drank more than six energy drinks a day according to his family but we believe it could have been a lot more than six.
“As an obese man, exposing yourself to a stimulant can cause an irregular heartbeat. That or a heart attack can then lead to death.”
Andres told how he dreamed of starting a family after coming out of surgery in Mexico in October.
And Real Madrid ace Ronaldo, 30, sent him a signed shirt to inspire him to continue losing weight.
But Andres suffered a heart attack and died as he was being taken to hospital in Ciudad Obregon.
Sixty-five stone Carl Thompson, of Dover, Kent, was Britain’s fattest man until he died last June.
