"The heaviest person every recorded in medical history, American Jon Brower Minnoch, clocked in at 1,397 pounds before dying in 1983, according to GuinnessWorldRecords.com. The doctor who treated him at the time said that a good chunk of that weight was water weight due to his congestive heart failure. It was reported that it took a dozen firefighters and an improvised stretcher to move him from his home to a ferryboat and then the hospital. Though he got down to 476 pounds on a strict diet in the hospital and was released, Minnoch died a few years later, weighing about 800 pounds.The world’s second-heaviest man was also an American, Patrick Deuel, a Nebraskan known as the “half-ton man” who weighed 1,072 pounds at his peak. Though he lost weight after being admitted to a hospital, Deuel passed away in 2016 at age 54."
