Carol Yager (1960-1994) hols the distinction of having been one of the most obese people in medical history. When she died in 1994 at the age of 34, she weighed about 1200 lbs (544 kg), and was 170 cm (5' 7") in height. It was reported that she was estimated to be more than five feet wide (152 cm), although this measurement has not been verified by Yager's medical team or family members. Shortly before her death, however, she was able to fit through her custom-built 48" (121 cm) wide front door. Published reports quoted her then-boyfriend as stating that he estimated her peak weight at about 1600 pounds (727kg), but when questioned about this estimate, Yager's doctor declined comment.
