Britain's heaviest man, Carl Thompson, has died - weeks after making a plea on daytime television for help losing weight.
The 33-year-old, who was 65st (412kg), had been bedbound for more than a year – with one takeaway reportedly making deliveries using a key to his flat.
He was found dead on Sunday morning, and emergency services in Dover were seen cordoning off a section of the road so they could remove his body through a window.
A Kent Police spokesman said: "Officers do not believe the death to be suspicious. The coroner will be notified."
Mr Thompson had said in April that he needed to lose 45st - more than two-thirds of his body weight - otherwise doctors said he would die, according to the Dover Express.
It is thought he began suffering from an eating disorder after losing his mother to brain cancer in 2012.
