Wesley Warren, the man famous for his 132-pound scrotum, has died after suffering two heart attacks at the age of 49-years-old. While he recently had surgery to reduce the size of his scrotum. He recently suffered two heart attacks and had been hospitalized for weeks due to complications from diabetes.
According to report from a friend of Warren told Review-Journal, he passed away on Friday March 14 at University Medical Center after suffering two heart attacks in recent weeks
"Warren’s been hospitalized for the last 5-and-a-half weeks for infections stemming from his diabetes, and suffered the heart attacks while in the hospital. “He had infections that I think were brought on by his diabetes and then he had those heart attacks.” The friend said Warren’s surgery last April played no role in his death.
Warren’s strange case garnered worldwide attention after his appearances on the Howard Stern Show, in 2013 documentary on the U.K.’s Channel 4. . The publicity led to several offers to perform corrective surgery, including one from Dr. Mehmet Oz, which Warren turned down because he was afraid Oz would botch the operation.
He eventually found a doctor at UC Irvine who performed the surgery for free, on the condition that Nevada Medicaid would pay for use of the hospital.
