Eman Abdel Aati, the world’s former heaviest woman, was laid to rest in her hometown of Alexandria Tuesday.

Abdel Aati died Monday at a UAE hospital, where she was receiving treatment, at the age of 37.

The funeral was held earlier today at el Emari Mosque in central Alexandria.

Abd el Aati had travelled to India earlier this year for bariatric weight loss surgery.

Local media reported that she had lost more than 300kg (660lb) of her 500kg but had died from complications from other health conditions.

A hospital statement said the 37-year-old had heart disease and kidney dysfunction.

Abd el Aati had been in the UAE capital Abu Dhabi since May after being transferred following specialist surgery in Mumbai, India.
