만웰 우리베는 한때 세상에서 가장 뚱뚱한 남자로 알려졌으며 2006년에 558kg으로 기네스 북 기록을 세운적이 있다. 그는 몸이 너무 무거워 스스로 걸을 수 없었으며 씻는 것과 먹는 것 또한 가족과 친구들의 도움으로만 가능했다.
우리베는 특수 제작된 침대에서 지냈으며 응급 상황일 때 크레인과 공무원들의 도움으로 병원으로 이송되어야 했다. 250kg을 뺐음에도 불구하고 그의 결혼식 때도 특수 침대로 식장까지 운반되었다.
그는 규칙적인 운동, 다이어트 및 의료 관리를 받고 있는 상태였으며 정확힌 사망 원인은 아직 밝혀지지 않았다.

World’s heaviest man dies at age 48
Manuel Uribe, world‘s heaviest man, has died at age 48, according to the Daily Mail.
Uribe, from Mexico, had been the world’s largest man and made an entry in the Guinness World Record in 2006 when he weighed in at 1,230 pounds. He was not able to walk on his own and could bathe and eat only with the help of family and friends.
