Britain's fattest woman who weighed 40st dies of a heart attack aged 44 after being unable to walk out of the house for six years

Doctors warned Brenda Flanagan-Davies to 'lose weight or die' when she became bed-bound at her home in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, after consuming more than 6,000 calories a day. But just four hours after a check-up in July 2013 her husband Ronald Davies found her foaming at the mouth and in pain. He called an ambulance, and four paramedics used a blanket to carry Mrs Flanagan-Davies to the vehicle, but she died on her way to hospital after suffering a heart attack. Mr Davies, 68, now wants to warn people about the risks of obesity after he was left 'devastated' following her death.
