Britain's heaviest man, Carl Thompson, has died - weeks after making a plea on daytime television for help losing weight.

The 33-year-old, who was 65st (412kg), had been bedbound for more than a year – with one takeaway reportedly making deliveries using a key to his flat.

He was found dead on Sunday morning, and emergency services in Dover were seen cordoning off a section of the road so they could remove his body through a window.

A Kent Police spokesman said: "Officers do not believe the death to be suspicious. The coroner will be notified."

Mr Thompson had said in April that he needed to lose 45st - more than two-thirds of his body weight - otherwise doctors said he would die, according to the Dover Express.

It is thought he began suffering from an eating disorder after losing his mother to brain cancer in 2012.

We have to wait for the coroner's report which should be in a few weeks time.

Too much strain on his heart could have caused an arrhythmia and/or heart attack. That's alot of work for one body to do.  :( 906 pounds? Gosh!
