Jason Holton, a resident of Surrey, has recently opened up about his struggles with weight gain. He believes that the root cause of his weight issues can be traced back to the death of his father. Despite his efforts, Jason's weight continued to increase and he was eventually declared as 'Britain's heaviest man'. Tragically, Jason passed away just a week before his 34th birthday due to organ failure.
According to Jason's mother, Leisa, he was brought to the Royal Surrey County Hospital by six firefighters after the ambulance ride. She shared, "He's had multiple health scares in the past, but I always believed that the doctors would be able to save him. Unfortunately, this time it wasn't possible. He was put on kidney dialysis and an IV drip, but his kidneys were not functioning properly. The doctor informed Jason that he only had a week left to live as his organs were failing. It was heartbreaking to see him deteriorate so quickly."
Jason had been struggling with his weight since the early age of three, when his father passed away. This trauma, coupled with bullying from his peers, made his life incredibly difficult. Despite his struggles, he managed to become the heaviest man in the UK after the death of Carl Thompson in 2015, who weighed 65 stone.
Jason lived in a bungalow that was specifically modified by council officials to accommodate his needs. Due to his immobility, he had to be lifted out of his flat by a crane in 2020 after collapsing. Speaking about the experience, he recalled, "It was the most devastating time of my life. The worst part was seeing the number of people gathered outside. It was a humiliating experience for me, as I knew that I was now known as Britain's fattest man."
Jason's mother, Lesia, had high hopes that her son would be prescribed the weight loss jab, Wegovy. However, Jason was not able to receive the medication in time. He shared, "I know I've reached a point where I need to try something different. Time is running out for me, and I need to take action." Although his family and friends are devastated by his passing, they are grateful for the time they were able to spend with him. Jason will always be remembered for his resilience and determination in the face of adversity.
