At his peak weight, he was approximately 1400 lb (635 kg, 100 stone). This figure was only a close estimation, however, because his extreme size, poor health, and lack of mobility prevented use of a scale. He was a resident of Bainbridge Island, Washington.
Early life
Jon suffered from obesity from childhood. At the age of 12, he weighed 292 lb (132 kg, 21 stone), and by age 22 he was 6' 1" (1.85 m) in height and weighed 392 lbs (178 kg, 28 stone).
he is very over weight and he died cuz he had to many burgurs and chips all day long he tried to find his penis but never found it
Death
He was discharged from the hospital after 16 months on a strict diet of 1,200 calories per day. He weighed 476 lb (216 kg), with his weight loss of approximately 924 lb (419 kg) being the largest ever documented. However, he was readmitted to the hospital just over a year later in October 1981, after his weight doubled to 952 lbs (432 kg). With his underlying condition of edema being incurable and difficult to treat, the decision was made to discontinue treatment, and he died just 23 months later on September 10, 1983, at age 42 and a weight of 798 lbs (362 kg) with a 105.3 BMI.
