Snoring Celebrities - Past


Winston Churchill was known to be loud snorer. His rotund figure coupled with those fat ‘trademark’ cigars and a fair amount of alcohol certainly made him a good candidate. Despite these unhealthy habits Churchill still lived to be ninety.


The somewhat overweight Theodore ‘Teddy’ Roosevelt reached truly anti social volumes with his snoring.  In January 1919 he died in his sleep aged just sixty. Doctors attributed his death to several possible causes including coronary embolism and inflammatory rheumatism. But his weight and his snoring were considered significant factors.

President Franklin Delano Roosevelt suffered high blood pressure (hypertension) and sleep apnea. He enjoyed a smoke in the day and would snore at night.

Queen Victoria became vastly overweight as she aged. At one stage she needed a 46 inch (about 117cm) waist size for garments. She was also known to snore.

Melvin Switzer of South Hampton, New England, is officially the World’s Loudest Snorer. He made it into the Guinness Book of Records hitting 92 house-rattling decibels! In the UK, Gloucester’s town crier Alan Myatt has been listed as the ‘World’s Loudest Man’ reaching an incredible 112.8 decibels. That is somewhere between a major sporting event and a chainsaw on the noise scale! His wife Jackie recently commented that his snoring is also extremely loud. Might we see a ‘snore-off’ between Alan and our Melvin?
