<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">A <b>560-pound British man died</b>
 in February when he developed complications after falling out of a 
chair. Samuel Cann, 35, a 40-stone man lived on a diet of burgers and 
pies. At that time, Paramedics discovered that he had developed pressure
 sores, tissue-swelling condition lymph edema and ulcers which required 
medical treatment. But Samuel rejected emergency treatment and died six 
days after the incident. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The
 former factory worker - whose weight ballooned due to his diet of fatty
 foods – was housebound and had even refused stomach surgery to help him
 lose weight. His size forced him to quit his job at the age of just 28 
because his hefty frame made it impossible for him to walk and dress 
himself. According to the widow Jody, Samuel was a stubborn man who had 
refused medical help for his weight problem. He also developed swollen 
legs, but the heart of the issue was his obesity. The one way he could 
have helped himself would have been to improve his diet and have surgery
 for his obesity. He also could have done more exercise and looked after
 the state of the room he lived in. He suffered a death by natural 
causes aggravated by self-neglect. From quite a young man, Mr Cann had 
many problems with his weight and his obesity and it is that obesity 
that led from one thing to another. His living conditions were not ideal
 and in order to improve his health and lifestyle he would have had to 
make some significant changes, but he wasn't willing to. Unfortunately 
that led to infected pressure sores, cellulite and sepsis, but 
underlying all of that was his obesity. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>The
 cause of death was recorded as "sepsis due to infected ulcers and sores
 and obesity". It is indeed very saddening how a person becomes prisoner
 of his own habits and gets caged by his own desires ends up destroying 
himself.</b></span></div>

As he was too fat they told him to get out of jail free.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>George Jolicoeur</b></span>, 38, is infamous for ordering food and then complaining about the quality and refusing to pay after he eats it.<br />
<br />
He devoured five milk shakes before finding a hair in the shake and refusing to pay.<br />
<br />
George Jolicoeur was arrested in 2007 after downing nearly $50 of beef jerky from a 7-Eleven, then claiming the last few scraps were moldy.<br />
<br />
Police tracked him down at home and arrested him.<br />
<br />
"The beef jerky got me," Jolicoeur said on his way to prison.<br />
<br />
After Jolicoeur was charged with five counts of felony petty theft, he became ill and bedridden. He now resides in a nursing facility and relies on a respirator to breathe.<br />
<br />
After prosecutors discovered that the state would have to foot the bill for Jolicoeur's medical care they offered a plea deal.<br />
<br />
"He's in his prison cell," said Assistant State Attorney Kyan Ware. "He's not getting out of that bed."</div>
