Having long suffered from terrible joint pain due to his obesity, in 2016 his church handlers decided that Molossus was to be taken to [[Aciria]] in hopes that the warmer weather would alleviate some of his ailments. By this time Molossus weighed 650 kilograms and was possibly one of the heaviest humans alive and was entirely unable to ride or even fit in a normal car. During his vacation Molossus moved around [[Trossera]] in a modified open top military truck provided by the Polizia Amministrativa Imperiale. On the night of September 25th he suffered a massive heart attack while trying to get up from his bed to urinate, destroying the bed frame as he crashed backwards into it and dying on the spot. The body was so large and unwieldy it proved impossible to maneuver the body out of the building so firemen had to be called to break open a hole in the wall with sledgehammers. His body was flown back to [[Mirzak]] on a military cargo plane and buried in the city's Christian cementery in a private ceremony. His will and testament, purportedly dictated by him to church officials in the presence of a notary, left all of his earnings, properties, various costumes and rights to his discography to the church itself. | Having long suffered from terrible joint pain due to his obesity, in 2016 his church handlers decided that Molossus was to be taken to [[Aciria]] in hopes that the warmer weather would alleviate some of his ailments.

Molossus was a unique character not only in [[Corumm]] but on the world stage.

That a man with his obviously diminished mental faculties and physical abnormalities was able to sing so powerfully and capture the minds of his audience was nothing short of extraordinary. The novelty of a giant man of foreign blood singing opera has not died out and there are no reported instances of the xenophobic Daxian audiences ever heckling him. The enduring popularity of opera in [[Corumm]] owes much to the works of Molossus. On the other hand the secretive and unexplained nature of his relation with the church that took him in and educated him, but also may have used and abused him for its own gain leaves moral and legal questions unanswered. | ||
