The 47-stone man who is Britain’s most obese has claimed that his rights have been violated by doctors. He was put on a controlled diet to try and save his life.
Jason Holton (32), a Camberley resident, is currently housebound. He was last seen in his 32nd year when he experienced a series ministrokes and a blood clot.
After Jason’s large frame placed immense strain on his internal organs, it took Jason two hours to be transported to Frimley Hospital.
His diet consisted of JustEat takeaways including doner meat, chips and chicken chow mein washed down with 1.5 litres of orange juice and five cans of diet coke – costing around £30 a day – totalling over £10,000 a year.
Jason was rescued from his third floor flat in October 2021 by a crane, and 30 firefighters in seven hours. This involved structural engineers strengthening the floors of their two-bedroom maisonette to prevent him falling.
Jason is now being cared for by the NHS in a private facility outside London. There, staff will restrict his calorie intake.

Jason claims that the changes Jason is making to his eating habits are in violation of his human rights and feels like he’s being tortured by the doctors who take care of him.
‘I have a drink restriction, and I try to explain to them that I’ve got my rights and should be free to drink whatever I like. He said that it was against his rights.
“I am so depressed about it” It’s so depressing. They told me that I would call the police as I am constantly thirsty.
He stated that he knew he would get sick eventually due to his size but had never imagined it would be me. It’s terrifying.’
His 52-year old mother Leisa explained to MailOnline, after her son’s crane-lift evacuation in Oct 2020 that her son had gained weight due to mental problems she suffered five years prior.
She watched on as her son was evacuated by 30 fireman in a seven-hour operation, which involved structural engineers reinforcing the floor of their two-bed maisonette in case he fell.
MailOnline was told by her that her son had always been overweight. Since he was little, he has been a good boy.
He’s housebound, and can’t get out of his home. It’s my hope that he will change his mind and eat only salads. He already spoke about this. He might find this encouraging.
She said that ‘Seeing him lifted from the flat was extremely worrying, because they claimed he might stop breathing during the move. It was a relief that he survived.
He is currently in the hospital and has been there almost 2 weeks. However, he has not yet had an operation.
“I was unable to travel because of the coronavirus. It can be very difficult when you worry about your loved ones but are unable to travel and visit.
After reaching his peak weight of 50 stone in December 2010, he had dropped to 45 stone. But, as he continues to eat large amounts of food, it has now risen back to 47.
His calorie restrictions at the nursing home he has been in since early August are mostly surrounding his drink intake as he hasn’t been stopped by doctors from ordering M&S sandwiches on Deliveroo and getting bits from the cafe – ‘They are OK about that,’ he says, adding that they will confiscate a drink if they see him near one.
His 24 hour limit has been set by his caregivers to only 1.5 litres of any liquid.
Just a few months before his rescue from the collapse, Britain’s fattest man Matthew Crawford (who weighed a staggering 55 stone) died in June at age 37.
After the death of 65-year-old Carl Thompson in 2015, he became Britain’s fattest man.
Dover’s 33-year old resident had been in a housebound state for over a year since doctors advised him to lose 70% of his body weight to live.
Jason, who was on his third-floor apartment in October 2021, had to be lifted by a crane with 30 firemen in a seven hour operation. The structural engineers reinforced the floor of Jason’s two-bed cottageette by reinforcing it in case of a fall.
When his mother died of a brain tumour in 2012, Mr Thompson turned to junk food as a means of coping with his grief – despite already being obese.
In three years his weight increased from 30 to 65 lbs. He was unable to take care of himself.
Consuming a staggering 10,000 calories every day – four times the usual daily amount for a man – Mr Thompson binged on Chinese takeaways and pizzas he had delivered to his door and claimed to have spent £10 a day on chocolate
He was unable to walk, or dress himself properly so a group of NHS carers bathed him and prepared his meals.
Mr Crawford cost the NHS £40,000 per month and died after suffering from organ failure and sepsis.
Jason said that Jason doesn’t feel optimistic about the future, and doesn’t know when he’ll see his family again.
His 52-year old mother Leisa, who was also pictured with Jason as a baby, told MailOnline after his October 2020 crane-lift evacuation that Jason had gained weight due to mental health issues five years prior.
