• Andres Moreno, who died aged 38 on Christmas Day, was guzzling more than six energy drinks a day in the three days prior to his death 
  
• 
• Moreno, who weighed 50 stone when he underwent the extreme weight loss surgery, died of a heart attack and problems associated with peritonitis on Christmas Day

• Doctor Jorge Ojeda, who saw Moreno on several occasions, revealed: 'He drank more than six energy drinks a day according to his family and we believe it could be a lot more than six
  'As an obese man, although he was losing weight and was starting to move, exposing yourself to a stimulant can cause an irregular heartbeat, and that or a heart attack can lead to death.' 
  The doctor said that, in the days prior to his death, Moreno was said to have 'had a problem with his wife and this generated some emotional stress', according to local reports.
  Gastric Bypass Mexico, which organised his stomach bypass op, said diabetic Moreno's consumption of energy drinks was the equivalent of a person with no health problems consuming 42 cans of Coke in three days.
  
  
  Moreno died of a heart attack and problems associated with peritonitis on Christmas Day. 
  It took a team of seven staff to help hoist him out of bed and onto a reinforced stretcher so he could be taken to the hospital. 
  His death came just two months after he received extreme weight loss surgery. 
  The surgery involved removing three quarters of his stomach and reshaping what was left into a tube to 'prevent him from eating too much'. .

• He had also lost 19 stone naturally before he went under the knife and weighed 50 stone when he underwent the operation.
  Prior to the surgery, he had received a signed Real Madrid shirt from football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, encouraging him to lose weight and get healthy.
