Andres Moreno is said to have gorged on energy drinks following on from a “problem with his wife”, news.com.au reports.

Doctors believe his personal life triggered “emotional stress” that led to Mr Moreno dramatically abandoning a post-weight loss surgery diet.

He was found at his home in Mexico, days after his 38th birthday.

“He drank more than six energy drinks a day according to his family and we believe it could be a lot more than six,” Dr Jorge Ojeda, who treated Mr Moreno, told MailOnline.

“As an obese man, although he was losing weight and was starting to move, exposing yourself to a stimulant can cause an irregular heartbeat, and that or a heart attack can lead to death.”

The official cause of his death was a heart attack and problems associated with peritonitis.
