Lotitos' diet since 1966 included 18 bicycles, 15 supermarket trolleys, seven TV sets, six chandeliers, two beds, a pair of skis, a low-calorie Cessna light aircraft and a computer.
He had eaten nearly 9 tons of metal by 1997
"He is said to have provided the only example in history of a coffin (handles and all) ending up inside a man," read another part.
He first became aware of his ability when a glass from which he was drinking, broke and he began chewing the fragments.
By October 1997, he had eaten nearly 9 tons of metal. He said that bananas and hard-boiled eggs made him sick.
Mr Lotito died of natural causes on June 25, 2007.
