Wesley Warren, pictured above with his elephantine balls, died from a heart attack at age 49. The Las Vegas man suffered from scrotal lymphedema, which caused his testicles to swell with watery fluid. Even though surgeons cut off his nads in an epic bout of surgery, the heart attack that felled Warren was his third in a row, alongside his diabetes and the infections that it caused.
The Learning Channel, which broadcast a program seen by millions featuring Warren’s operation that was not exploitive of him in any way said: “We are saddened to hear about the sudden loss of Wesley. He was a lovely man who bravely told his story, and we share our condolences with his family and friends.”
Warren’s saga began after he ­accidentally by crushed his privates while in bed. Doctors prescribed antibiotics for the inflammation but ­instead of going down, the swelling increased until his scrotum was the size of a soccer ball. The swelling continued at a mad pace, sometimes three pounds a day. Though Wesley already weighed 300 pounds before his balls, the swelling was a game-changer in his life.
