Warren was made famous last year by his 132-pound scrotum he died on friday after multiple heart attacks.
Wesley Warren Jr, 49, from Las Vegas, was hospitalized this week after complications from diabetes, he passed Friday after suffering two heart attacks while in treatment, a friend told the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Warren shot to infamy after a TLC special showed a doctor removing his massive scrotum which enlarged because he suffered from a rare medical condition called scrotal lymphedema.

'He was in the hospital for five and a half weeks,; the friend told the paper. 'He had infections that I think were brought on by his diabetes and then he had those heart attacks.'
Warren had been enjoying his new-found freedom in the year since his surgery until his hospitalization this past week, according to Hurtado.
Mr Warren was left barely able to walk and was often subjected to ridicule and abuse when he appeared in public.
His penis was buried so deeply in the abnormal growth that he was forced to urinate on himself and he was forced to turning hooded sweatshirts upside down and using them as pants.
At one stage he became so desperate he considered selling his testicles on eBay to pay for an operation to remove them.
Fortunately, California doctor Dr Joel Gelman agreed to carry out the 13-hour operation to remove it for free.
