Yes, he was severely obese. When did he die? I was unaware of that. He sang that song so beautifully.

He died 25 years ago.

"Kamakawiwoʻole suffered from obesity throughout his life,[19] at one point weighing 757 pounds (343 kg) while standing 6 feet 2 inches (1.88 m) tall.[11] He endured several hospitalizations because of his weight.[11] With chronic medical problems including respiratory and cardiac issues, he died at the age of 38 in the Queen's Medical Center at 12:18 am on June 26, 1997, from respiratory failure."
