Caleb Swanigan siblings: Meet brother Carl Swanigan

He was up in a troubled family since his father, Carl Swanigan Sr., was addicted to crack cocaine. Tanya Swanigan, his mother had six children.

He spent his childhood in homeless shelters as he traveled between Utah and Indianapolis. He acquired two important characteristics from his biological father: his height and a proclivity for obesity.

Swanigan was 6 feet 8 inches tall and weighed approximately 230 kg when he died in 2014 from diabetic complications.

He went to a basketball camp run by NBA former coach John Lucas in the fall of 2011 after Barnes persuaded Lucas to let him into the invite-only camp in Louisville.

His high school had never done well in the tournament previously, and his ambition was to win a state championship at a school where it had never happened before.

Carl is less well-known, but we do know that his older brother Carl Jr., was concerned that Caleb would continue to gain weight if he moved in with his mother.
