Man with 132 lb. scrotum passes away

Wow, this is so sad.

You may remember Wesley Warren, aka The Man With The 132 Lb. Scrotum, who had his own TLC special - and then later had the scrotum removed when a doctor at UC Irvine performed the surgery on him for free last summer.

At 49 years old, we hate to report, that he sadly passed away on Friday at the University Medical Center.

He had been hospitalized for the last five-and-a-half weeks due to infections from his diabetes, and then he died as a result of two heart attacks.

His medical condition is called scrotal lymphedema, which caused his scrotum to swell 3 pounds every month and he was unable to urinate or have sex normally, and would use hooded sweatshirts as a makeshift sling.

TLC released a statement, saying:

"TLC is 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."

Our thoughts are also with Mr. Warren's family and friends during this difficult time.

Mother nature is cruel to animals. Humans are animals too. She's an evil witch. She gives this guy giant balls. Concerned people pitch together to help him afford the surgery. Then.. he was normal. Had normal happy balls. Then what does mother nature do? offs him with diabetes and heart attacks. Mother nature. Nomatter how great your life is and how long you think you will live…… here comes the worlds most prolific serial killer tossing a curveball into your face. Mother nature. Nobody can escape her. There is no food we can eat or exercise we can sweat to that will save any of us from her ravages. There is no weapon we can use against her. She is invincible. And she is evil.

Aww that is sad as I watched the documentary on him and he was super afraid of dying - to the point of delaying surgery. May the poor fella RIP and I do hope he went quickly.

Candace Cameron Bure Shows You How To Deal With Body Shamers With THIS Classy Clapback!

Good thing Candace Cameron Bure was raised right -- and dealt with body shaming in more than one very special episode!

The Fuller House star posted a sweet pic with her 18-year-old son Lev (above) on Instagram last week, and rude-as-hell follower wrote:

"All that excersizing, and you still look like you weigh more than your husband, did you change your diet?"

Wow. Such a troll question.

But instead of keeping the focus on her own body, the once and future DJ deftly put the spotlight where it belongs -- on this poor commenter. She wrote back:
