1. The vet who performed the PM (and wished to not be named or asked more questions) confirmed that he weighed waghdoh's carcass on a scale and that some kgs of undigested food was recovered from the stomach. We asked him if he was weighed on a scale to which his response was "yes". I cannot give more information that this here, although I may be willing to, for some people in dms.

2. The post mortem report said he was fat. That is almost always the case when comparing young/prime animals to old animals. Older animals loose muscle mass and proportionally have more fat. Waghdoh was an exception as in he stayed the same for most of his life but that doesn't mean that effects of old age wouldn't creep up on him. 

3. The dead body of the man was found on 21 May. It is unknown how old it was. Waghdoh's dead body was found on 23 May. The innards were already under active decay (which leads to reduction in mass) by the time they found him. So it is totally possible that waghdoh died before the man was killed in a tiger attack.

But unfortunately he didn’t go into detail nor supply any follow up information. He also didn’t mention if the weight was relayed to him or if he was part of the weighing first hand. Lastly like I showed, if following PM protocols, body parts would be severed and weighed separately. So if Deteriorated they can make estimates on certain portions. 
I tried to respond to your PM but the mailbox is full. Reply
