Jon Brower Minnoch
Jon Brower Minnoch was an American man who is the heaviest recorded human in history, weighing approximately 1,400 lb at his peak. Obese since childhood, Minnoch normally weighed 800–900 lb during his adult years. He owned a taxi company and worked as a driver around his home in Bainbridge Island, Washington. In an attempt to lose weight, Minnoch went on a 600 kcal (2,500 kJ) per day diet under a doctor's orders. As a result, Minnoch was bedridden for about three weeks before finally agreeing to go to a hospital in March 1978. It took over a dozen firefighters to transport him to the University of Washington Medical Center in Seattle. Doctors diagnosed Minnoch with a massive edema, and an endocrinologist estimated his weight to be approximately 1,400 lb. His physicians placed him on a 1,200 kcal (5,000 kJ) per day diet where, after around two years in the hospital, he lost over 900 lb—the largest documented human weight loss at the time. After leaving the hospital, Minnoch regained much of the weight and died in September 1983, weighing nearly 800 lb at his death. Minnoch's casket took up two burial spots at Mount Pleasant Cemetery in Seattle.
