BRITAIN’S fattest man, who weighed 65 stone (412 kg), 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.

    On Sunday morning, a private ambulance, police and the fire brigade were seen outside his home in Dover.

    Police confirmed his death in a statement Sunday.

    “Kent Police was called at 10:38 a.m. June 21, to a property in 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.

    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.

    “I’ve had a lot of that coming in anyway but the more the better.”

    Unable to leave the house to go food shopping, the 33-year-old lived on Chinese takeaway and pizza that he had delivered to his door.

    He also claimed to have spent £10 (US$15.8) a day on chocolate, relying on state handouts for money.

    While Thompson attributed most of his weight gain to the death of his mother, he admitted that he had always “loved” food.

    “I was only about 3 or 4 and no one knew why I did it. I would just eat anything out of the cupboards,” he said.

    When his mother died of a brain tumor in 2012, he turned to unhealthy food as a means of coping with his grief.

    His weight soon doubled from 30 stone to 65, leaving him unable to work.

    Thompson spent the last few years in and out of hospitals, where he was treated for a range of ailments including septicemia.

    Last month, as he appealed for help to lose the weight, he vowed not to undergo “dangerous” gastric band surgery.

    “I don’t want a gastric band, they’re dangerous. I’d like the help of a dietitian and a psychiatrist to help shift the weight,” he said.(SD-Agencies)
