INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - Family and neighbors are outraged over the way officials removed an obese woman's body from her home.
They say workers dragged Teresa Smith's 750-pound body from her home, covered her with a dirty carpet and loaded her onto a flatbed truck.
"Dragging her on her mattress. They got her up there and took the carpet and, I promise, I though they were maybe going to move it out the way and then they took it and dropped it on her body," one woman said. "And I couldnt take it."
"That right there is just low down," an unidentified man said. "I felt like they, it was enough people out there to pick her up and carry her."
The outrage prompted neighbors to videotape the incident and rally against the coroner's office for the way they treated the 48-year-old and her family.
Smith's 13-year-old son, David, witnessed the event.
"That was just dishonorable. You really shouldnt disrespect the dead," he said.
According to the Marion County coroner, officials used the only available means to move a corpse of that size, but also said staffers may have used poor judgment.

I didn't even know people could get that big. Isn't that some sort of record?

I'm surprised they didn't have to use a crane.

Manuel Uribe Garza (born June 11, 1965) is a man from Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico, and was one of the heaviest people in medical history.[1] After reaching a peak weight of around 597 kg (1,316 lb) :shock:and being unable to leave his bed since 2001, Uribe lost considerable weight with the help of doctors and nutritionists, and by following the Zone diet.
Uribe drew worldwide attention when he appeared on the Televisa television network in January 2006, but turned down offers for gastric surgery in Italy.
In March 2007, Uribe set a goal to lower his weight to 120 kg (265 lb). Uribe has also been featured on "World's Heaviest Man", a television documentary about his bedridden life and attempts to lose weight.[2]
By October 26, 2008, Uribe had reduced his weight to 360 kg (800 lb).[3] His weight loss efforts continue.

When you consider there are millions of people out there who still go to bed hungry it makes you want to vomit that a fat Jabba motherfucker like this actually exists.
We need to punish the French, ignore the Germans and forgive the Russians - Condoleezza Rice.
