Too Fat to be Buried
According to an article on News24 today, a Pretoria man who weighed 550kg before his death, isĀ too fat to have a normal burial.
The massive 550 kg body of the deceased man could not fit into the mortuary and so a cold room has to be used to store the body in the meantime.
Cremation is out of the question as the body is just too large for the crematorium to process. This leaves the problem of burial. Due to the size of the body a special double coffin will be needed to bury the body in.
The man's family is desperately appealing to members of the public to assist in raising money for the special coffin and burial that is needed.
WTF!! (Sorry Ma) Has the man never heard of diet pills.
