Jose Luis Garza - Dead at 47
Jose Luis Garza, who was unceremoniously billed as one of the fattest people in the world, has died of a heart attack. Garza, 47, weighed 990 pounds at the time of his death.

In order to get Garza out of his house, emergency workers removed his bedroom wall and loaded his body into a pickup truck owned by one of his friends. He was dead when he arrived at the hospital.

Garza had been plagued by a weight problem his whole life, but it got worse when he slipped into a depression after the death of both of his parents nine months earlier. Jose Luis Garza spent the last four months of his life in bed.
