The Man With Largest Testicles Dies At 49
Wesley Warren Jr., who received worldwide notoriety because of his
problems with a scrotum that grew to 132 pounds, died Friday at a Las
Vegas hospital. He was 49.
No cause of death was officially announced, but Warren’s roommate,
Joey Hurtado, told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that Warren had suffered
two heart attacks recently.
“He was in the hospital for five and a half weeks,” Hurtado told the
paper. “He had infections that I think were brought on by his diabetes
and then he had those heart attacks.”
Hurtado also told the paper he didn’t believe that his friend’s testicle removal surgery last year was a factor in the death.
When Warren had the surgery last April, he entered the operating room
weighing 552 pounds. Thirteen hours later, he was 200 pounds lighter.
Warren said his scrotum first became enlarged in May 2008 when he suffered an injury on his right testicle.
“I woke up the next day and my scrotum was the size of a honeydew
melon,” he told HuffPost Live in August. “My personal hell was just
beginning.”
With every passing month, Warren’s scrotum grew 3 pounds or more. And
with no health insurance, he had little opportunity to seek help, until
he became internationally known for his freakish bulge.....Click the link below to read details and see more photos
