Woman who weighed 47st dies just before life-saving operation in Turkey gifted to her by secret donor
A WOMAN who weighed 47st has died just before receiving a life-saving operation gifted to her by a secret donor.
Christina Sekulova from Dupnitsa, Bulgaria, was tragically found dead three days before she was meant to travel to Turkey for surgery.
The 33-year-old had suffered from extreme obesity and plethora of other health related issues.
However, a kind donor who remained anonymous gave her the funds to receive expensive weight-loss surgery that would give her a new lease on life.
Unfortunately, her mother found her passed out in her bedroom earlier this week.
Emergency services were called to the incident, where a local doctor pronounced her dead at the scene.

The woman was living with her family at their home, about 44 miles south of the capital, Sofia.
According to Bulgarian newspaper Struma, Christina was grappling with bipolar disorder prior to her death.
She was taking medication to aid her mental health condition, which caused her to pile on weight.
After ten years, the young woman ballooned to a massive 600lb - to the point she could not leave her bedroom.
