A 60-year-old man in Britain, who weighed about 700 pounds, has died of a heart attack and eight firemen were needed to carry the body out of his home.

Jack Taylor, who died in his home town of Bradford, gained fame after appearing in a series of TV shows telecast from his apartment which he rarely left in the past 30 years, reports Sky News.

Two years ago he was injured in a fall which left him with walking difficulties.
