Eman Ahmed, the world's heaviest woman who went to India for weight-loss surgery, has died at 36, reports NDTV.
She had been in Abu Dhabi since May. Reports in the UAE media had claimed that she was seen "dancing in her bed" last month, the Indian online news portal reports.
Eman weighed around 500 kilogrammes when she reached Mumbai in February from her hometown Alexandria in Egypt.

She reportedly lost 324 kg during her weight-loss treatment. She was put on a special liquid diet at the hospital to reduce her weight enough so that doctors could perform bariatric surgery.
When she left, she weighed around 176 kg. Doctors in Mumbai said she would go through physiotherapy in Abu Dhabi's VPS Burjeel, according to the NDTV.
