A man in Indonesia who tipped the scales at around 300kg and developed complications from his morbid obesity has succumbed to illness in a Jakarta hospital, reported the Indonesian media. Mr Muhammad Fajri, 27, died at 1.25am because of a severe infection in his leg after his weight disrupted his body's metabolism, Dr Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital director Lies Dina Liastuti told reporters last Thursday. Dr Lies said Mr Fajri had been receiving treatment for about a week, with a team of 16 specialists assigned to his case.
