Pakistan's "heaviest man" died in hospital on Monday after he suffered a heart attack while he was left unattended by nursing staff who fled to deal with a disturbance in the intensive care unit (ICU) of a hospital in Lahore, his surgeon said.

Noor Hasan, weighing over 330 kilograms, had undergone successful liposuction surgery last month and was being kept in the ICU for further observation.

The nursing staff reportedly left Hasan unattended for nearly an hour on Monday after the family of another patient became violent after hearing the news that their loved one had died. The family members blamed the death of the female patient on doctors' negligence.

Hospital staff claimed that relatives of the patient had broken windows, switched off ventilators and hit medical staff.

Treating surgeon Dr Maazul Hassan said upon the return of medical staff to the ICU, Hasan had already suffered a heart attack and all attempts to resuscitate him were futile.

Hasan's wife, Malooka Bibi, blamed her husband's death on the relatives who caused the disruption.

A hospital spokesperson said that they were investigating the incident and examining CCTV footage.

Last month, the army helped rescue Hasan from his home and transferred him to hospital after a plea for help on social media by the father of seven yielded no responses.

Pakistan's 'heaviest man' dies after commotion in hospital

<a href="https://www.wionews.com/south-asia/pakistans-heaviest-man-shifted-to-hospital-for-treatment-228709">An obese man in Pakistan</a>, reportedly the "heaviest" in the country at over 330 kilograms, was moved via truck and military helicopter to a hospital for treatment on Tuesday after he appealed for help on social media.

Rescue teams broke down part of the wall of Noor Hasan's house to move him outside as he was too big to pass through the main door of his house. He was later transported and lifted into a truck and subsequently the helicopter to a hospital in Lahore. Hasan was not able to move freely on his own because of his weight and also because of related medical complications.

Army Chief, General Qamar Javed Bajwa told Reuters that the army decided to make special arrangements for Hasan's transfer and treatment after his appeal on social media were not answered immediately.

According to a survey report released by the Pakistan Endocrine Society in 2018, 29 per cent of the Pakistani population is overweight, out of which 51 per cent fall in the category of obesity.

In 2017, Pakistan's most obese person with a weight of 360 kg underwent laparoscopic surgery, which brought his weight down to 200 kg.
