An obese man on death row in Georgia requested a buffet-style meal of high-calorie meats and other treats for his final meal.
Stacey Humphreys, 52, is scheduled to be executed by lethal injection for double murder on Wednesday, but she plans to have a feast beforehand.
The Georgia Department of Corrections said in a press release that Humphreys requested barbecue beef brisket, pork ribs, a bacon double cheeseburger, fries, coleslaw, cornbread, buffalo wings, meat lovers’ skillet pizza, vanilla ice cream and a two-lime soda.
At approximately 6 feet tall and weighing 305 pounds, Humphreys would be clinically obese according to the CDC’s body mass index calculator.

Humphreys is scheduled to be executed at the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Prison in Jackson for his conviction in the 2003 murders of 33-year-old Cyndi Williams and 21-year-old Lori Brown.
In November 2003, he entered a real estate office where two women worked and cornered them at gunpoint with a stolen gun, forcing them to undress and hand over their bank card PINs before fatally shooting them both.
He also tied Williams’ underwear so tightly around his neck that “there was a tell-tale ligature mark on his neck and his tongue was sticking out of his mouth, which turned purple,” according to the Georgia Attorney General’s Office.
The attorney general’s office also said Brown “suffered bleeding from his throat consistent with being strangled or struck to the throat with a headlock-type hold.”

After killing the women, Humphreys withdrew $3,000 from their bank account.
The man was eventually taken into custody after a high-speed chase in Wisconsin.
Humphreys initially told police he did not remember killing the women, but when asked why he ran away he admitted he knew he had done it.
“I know I did this. I know it like I know my own name,” he told police.
He also told officers he had recently taken out some high-interest “payroll” loans and was “getting over it.” [his] Move toward that stinking truck.”

Humphreys’ lawyers asked for a stay of his execution, but a federal judge denied that request earlier this week. The U.S. Supreme Court rejected the appeal in October.
His execution will be the first in Georgia this year.
A total of 76 men and one woman have been executed in Georgia since the U.S. Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty nearly 50 years ago. There are still 32 men and one woman on death row in the Peach State.
