Here's a link to some pictures taken of him not long before his death.

"Doctors did not perform an autopsy on Atkins. They relied instead on an external examination based on hospital information, the paper said."

So tell me, without performing an autopsy, how would one know that "he had a huge amount of fat around his heart"?
Further, a man is considered morbidly obese when he is 100 pounds overweight for his height and age. Dr. Atkins was 72 and over six feet tall. He was nowhere near 100 pounds overweight, and as has been explained REPEATEDLY, he suffered a lot of bloating while in the hospital.
