If he was crossing a road to get to a McDonald's and got hit by a bus he could not only die fat but flat and still starving!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I would say it depends on just how fat!. Was food totally non existent!? In Africa for example many die from starvation but it is because they do not get the minimum required calories to sustain life!. It is a slow process!. In such an instance I would say a fat person would not be near fat when they died!.

No matter the circumstance a fat person would lose considerable weight before death!. His fat would sustain him far longer than anybody without a fat reserve but he would also lose muscle and the body's fat reserve is naturally for times when food is scarce not when there is non at all for extended periods!.

Nobody will starve to death in 10 days either!. I have skipped food for 3 days many times when fasting to no ill effect!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

hmmm Yes , because sometimes it takes the human body more time to get settled As braces for example , the first few days it hurt from moving because it is not used to it so it will take a while to work, just like body fat on alot of people it is hard to loose weight so they starve theirselves and ussally end up damaging their human body !. so unless they have a miracale ( dont know if spelled right ) then yes they Will die fat!.
im only ten sorry about all thee things i spelled wrongWww@Answer-Health@Com

YES
you don't die just because you didn't eat!. You die because your body tries to convert fat into calories excessively leading to ketone bodies which are acidic!. You will have 'ketone breath' (google it) and your body will shut down!. Look up Diabetic Ketoacidosis as well!.!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Probably yes!. He may not be as fat because his metabolism would begin to burn off excess fat and calories to use as energy so the person would not die as quickly!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, he most probably would!. What happens with starvation is the body starts to eat the protein (muscles), but it doesn't bother with the fat!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

yes, he would still die fat !! it is not related , if he starvs himslef for 10 days for example he would die and he would lose only 5 pounds or soWww@Answer-Health@Com
