smelly coworker

One of the guys I'm managing has bad B.O. Basically, anyone who gets within 3-4 feet of him can smell him, and he STINKS. I've received numerous complaints about him from other coworkers. Is there anything I should/can do as his manager?

I had this experience a few years ago. Guy smelled so bad if he was standing on the ground floor, the stench went up the elevator shaft to the second floor.

His manager went and talked to him straight out. Sure beat beating around the bush. Unfortunately, it didn't help. He swore he did all he could to de-stink himself, to no avail. We were ready to put him in the back of a pickup truck and run him through the car wash when he finally found another job.
