Britain's heaviest man has died from organ failure just days before celebrating his 34th birthday, his heartbroken mother has revealed.
Jason Holton from Camberley in Surrey had been housebound for eight years because of his 47st frame.
The 33-year-old died last Saturday after doctors were unable to prevent his organs from failing.
His mother Leisa told The Sun that he had 'started to go downhill' after his kidneys stopped working.
'He's probably had about eight lives and I thought the doctors would be able to save him again, but sadly it wasn't possible,' she said.

Jason previously had to be hoisted out of his third-floor flat by a crane and by 30 firemen in a seven-hour operation, which involved structural engineers reinforcing the floor of their two-bed maisonette in case he fell
