Britains fattest man dies aged just 33

Britain's fattest man, who weighed 65 stone, has tragically died at his home in Kent.

Carl Thompson, 33, had been confined to his home for a year, relying on NHS carers to wash and feed him.

A private ambulance, police and the fire brigade were seen outside his home in Dover yesterday morning.

Police confirmed his death in a statement. 

'Kent Police was called at 10:38am on 21 June, to a property, Dover following reports that a man in his 30s had died,' a spokesman said. 

'Officers do not believe the death to be suspicious.'

After speaking out about his plight last month, the 33-year-old vowed to shed weight in order to stay alive, adding that he had been 'touched' by the outpouring of sympathy and offers of help he'd received in the wake of several media interviews. 

Mr Thompson said that he was desperate to change his lifestyle after being warned by doctors that his ill health would kill him.

'Any professional opinion or other knowledge would be great,' he said.
