A Mexican man once listed as the world's heaviest human being died Monday, at the age of 48.
Manuel Uribe had slimmed down to about 867lbs (394kg), well below his then-record peak weight of 1,230lbs (560kg), which was certified in 2006 as a Guinness World Record.

The world's heaviest man Manuel Uribe has set himself a mammoth task - to become the world's biggest slimmer.
Mr Uribe, who lives in a reinforced bed and has been housebound for the last six years, started cutting out junk food in March 2006, opting for a diet of fruit, vegetables, fish, chicken and omelettes.
It made a change from years of eating pizzas, burgers, chips and fizzy drinks when he worked as a computer repair man in America.
Back in Mexico, he only added to his weight by eating tacos and fried food.
On 26 October 2008, after four years together, Uribe —who weighed in at 318 kg (701 lb) after shedding 269 kg (593 lb)— married his second wife Claudia from his bed. He said: "I am proof you can find love in any circumstances. It's all a question of faith. I have a wife and will form a new family and live a happy life."
