A MAN has predicted he will eat himself to death as he spends his days in the nude playing computer games.

Casey King, 34, from the US state of Georgia, weighs more than 50 stone thanks to a lifestyle based around scoffing junk food and gaming.

Featuring in a TLC TV series called Family by the Ton, Casey said: “I will just eat until I am dead, probably.

"I wake up around 12, figure out something I'm going to eat immediately [then it's] TV, video games, bed — it’s not a lot of activity.”

Because of the hot weather in Georgia he prefers to skip clothes, wearing only a headset through which he uses to chat to other gamers playing online.

Casey, who is unemployed, said: “So I just sit there naked as free as can be and no-one bothers me — door’s shut, we’re good.

“I’m just safe and video games are where I escape

“I’m accepted in all those virtual reality worlds and the gaming world that I am in. No-one sees me.

“That is my outside world where I can be the Casey I want to be, but not be judged on my weight.”

Always a beefy child, Casey started to pile on the pounds in his teens while working in restaurants where he munched food in the kitchen.

Soon it became too difficult to work and when he became unemployed his mum kicked him out.

The only place he could go to was his dad’s.

He said: "Basically, his one thing that did make me happy was food.

“So we just ate like kings. But, like in the worst way. Pizzas, chicken, Japanese food, takeout.”
