Wesley Warren - The man with 10 stone testicles |
Wesley Warren - better known as the man with the 10-stone testicles - died from a heart attack last night at the age of 49
Mr Warren, from Las Vegas had suffered from an extreme case of the rare disease scrotal lymphedema, which caused his testicles to swell with watery fluid.
He became famous in the UK when Channel Four filmed a 13-hour operation to remove 132.5lb of tissue in June last year
Before his surgery last summer, Warren used to wear hooded sweatshirts as trousers, using the hood as a makeshift scrotum sling.
But he had spent the last five-and-a-half weeks in hospital from infections stemming from his diabetes.
He reportedly suffered two heart attacks in recent weeks at University Medical Centre in Las Vegas.
US TV Network The Learning Channel, which broadcast the original programme featuring Mr Warren’s operation, said: “We are saddened to hear about the sudden loss of Wesley.
“He was a lovely man who bravely told his story, and we share our condolences with his family and friends.’’
Following the corrective surgery Warren was hoping he would find love.
Before his operation, desperate Warren described his life as a living, breathing freak show.
Warren, 49, groaned: “I draw attention everywhere I go.
“There are a lot of people that will look and laugh and stare in shock and awe and amazement and it’s tough to deal with.”
Little did Warren know about the ordeal ahead of him when he accidentally triggered his condition by crushing his privates while getting out of bed.
