Jason Halton, who was named Britain’s heaviest person, has died. Doctors tried to save his life, but excess weight and diseases took Jason’s breath away.
Jason Halton, from Camberley, Surrey, UK, was unable to walk due to his weight and had been housebound for the past 8 years.
However, Jason died of organ failure on Saturday.
Jason died a few days before his birthday, much to his mother’s dismay.
Mother Lisa said doctors had warned that Jason might die this week, and the son died on Saturday.
According to Jason’s medical report, death was due to obesity and organ failure.
A source told Reuters the talks had started in late 2023 and a deal might be finalized in the coming months.
Two sources briefed on the matter put the potential deal size at around 4 to 5 billion ringgit (US$844 million to 1.06 billion).
In addition to its fuel stations, Shell sells industrial lubricants, produces crude oil and natural gas offshore the states of Sarawak and Sabah, and is a joint venture partner in two liquefied natural gas (LNG) ventures.
The sale is part of CEO Weil Sawan’s efforts to focus the company’s operations on the most profitable businesses.
Shell has said it will seek to divest 500 gas stations this year and next. The company is in the process of selling its Singapore refinery and petrochemical complex.
Shell’s bid to sell its Malaysian fuel stations coincides with its move to sell its refinery on Singapore’s Bokom island, which supplies the network, one of the sources said.
