One of the world’s fattest men has died at the age of 39 – weighing a staggering 64 stone. Ricky Naputi piled on the pounds thanks to a gut-busting diet of 10,000 calories a day.

He grew so fat he was left bedridden in his home on the Pacific island of Guam for five year – being cared for around the clock by his

wife Cheryl.

Ricky was offered life-saving surgery and a TV crew from US, who followed him for three years as he battled to lose enough weight to travel to a hospital in the US.

But he ran out of time and died in November 2012 – before the footage of his plight could be aired.

Ricky’s story was finally told this week in a moving documentary that charted his weight battle and his touching relationship with Cheryl.

The pair were married for 10 years, but Ricky’s size meant they could never consummate the relationship.

Instead, his devoted spouse spent her days bathing and feeding him and even helping him go to the toilet.

In interviews Ricky, meanwhile, expresses his determination to live – if only so he can go outside again.
