INDIANAPOLIS -- The Marion County Coroner's Office has come under fire after it was revealed that an obese woman was dragged from her home and hauled away on a trailer in front of family members following her death.

Teresa Smith, 48, who weighed 750 pounds, died Tuesday in her apartment on Indianapolis' northeast side.

Officials at the scene told 6News' Jack Rinehart that the deputy coroner made the decision to call a towing service to remove the body from the home.

"We debated for quite a while about how we were going to get her out of there and so we finally decided, since we didn't have a van that was large enough to carry her, it was decided between (the police) department and the coroner's office to use (the truck)," said Detective Marcus Kennedy.

Smith's boyfriend and the couple's 13-year-old son, along with several neighbors, watched as Smith's body, still on her mattress, was dragged across the courtyard of the apartment complex, strapped down on the wrecker and covered with a piece of carpet.

"I think they should have handled it differently, putting her on a flatbed like they did. That was like putting a cow up there," said Smith's boyfriend, David Johnson.

Neighbors said they were also disturbed by the ordeal.

"What really got me is when they took her off onto the flatbed, they threw this dirty, dirty carpet on top of her, and I just thought that was so disrespectful," said a neighbor, who did not want to be identified. "I would have never let them throw that on my loved one."

Once on the truck, Smith's body was escorted by police downtown to the coroner's office.

Former Chief Deputy Coroner John Linehan said he was shocked and dismayed that appropriate steps weren't taken to remove the woman from her home.

He said that fire and medical personnel have equipment available for handling patients up to 1,000 pounds and that moving obese individuals is not all that rare of an occurrence.

"When they scoop up dead dogs off of the street they don't treat them that way," he said. "It's just not the way to treat a human being."

Chief Deputy Coroner Alfarena Ballew told Rinehart by phone Wednesday that a flatbed truck has been used in other occasions to move obese individuals. She said the office is now looking for a way to transport Smith's body from the morgue to the funeral home.

The Indiana State Coroner's Association said it has no specific recommendations to handle extremely obese people. The decision is left up to each county.

[MonroeMike]

I wonder if AAA covered the tow bill.

[cybrman]

All I gotta say is if she weighed 750 lbs all those people shoulda been concerned about how she disrespected herself!! Maybe she'd be alive if they truly cared!
Opportunity knocks and a victim is born!! Gotta love the good ole USA.

[harryredtrike]

yea but do they have super pall bearers

[outtaline]

wrecker is probably cheaper than a hearse I know they won't have a problem finding one:D

[Dirtcrasher]

Thats terrible! How humiliating! I can't believe they treated a human being like that......





I would have cut her up into several small pieces I could lift and throw in the back of a truck :D

[Russell 350X]

Call me sick, but I think this is funnier than hell. For gods sake, she weighed 750!! How does anyone let that happen to themselves?

[factoryX]

well people call it a mental issue, but here is my thing, they did a recent study on how much super fat people(500 pounds and above) eat in 1 week. They eat close to 200 pounds of food...lol, and who is buying the food? Family Members!

[Thorpe]

the problem stems from the people who enable others to be tards...

[The Goat]

Idk about food...I typically eat one sandwich, a bowl of oatmeal, and then some fattening meal each day...but I can pound down some liquid.

I've consumed 20L of water in a day before.

hmmm...I wonder what the average person eats each week.

I know right?! they got a whole crew of family workign making preparing food! wtf?! they work to buy food for the fat ass becouse "they dont want them to suffer".....f'n stupid people! if there was a fat hoe in my family like that I would drag their ass out on a flat bed alive and parade their fat ass around town till they decided that being fat and eating like a pig wasnt there gig no more!:mad:

[The Goat]

we actually were talking about this yesterday at work.

I'd stand 5 feet away and eat a twinkie...wtf are they gonna do...get me? lol

Haul their ass five miles from home...tell them if they want food they can walk home and get it.

[outtaline]

you might be suprised how fat people move when food is involved you mite lose an arm she gonna eat it like a drumstick

[Mosh]

Well...

First off let me say, that the thread is rediculous.
Many of you, posting your childish responses, just back up the rest of the toilet worthy content you post all over this board.:banned: :postwhore

What the problems is, is what if it was YOUR family member? Mom, Sister, Aunt, Grandma,

How would you feel about them being treated that way? It isnt funny at all.:lock:
Here is an idea fooolssss........:idea:
How about bashing on the lazy half ass response team for THEIR actions....Instead of the woman involved...At least then, I may find justification in THAT..
Dumbasses!:rolleyes:

As far as how the response team handled the scenario, I cant help but think....
That the response team, has about the same common sense, as most of the BS replies some of you have made...
This thread is STUPID... Most of the responses from you totally reflect your amount of intellegence you have...
The 12 year old, (childish) thread topics, and responses, are just USELESS to this board....
And to think....It isn't even summer vacation for the kids yet. And yet we have to read this crap!

[4Q2]

When I dont like whats on TV ,,,, I change the channel

[The Goat]

sorry mosh...but NO

she's responsible for herself.

I'm fat...I eat because I enjoy it. And trust me, I enjoy my food with all the passion there is. But notice I'm not tipping the scales at 700 pounds.

I don't give a damn about what her family said, they should be ashamed of themselves for bringing her food and allowing her to get to that size.

Childish remarks? Part of being an adult is having self control...and she had NONE.

[factoryX]

lol, most of my family that is that over wieght has either passed on or is in bad shape with either cancer or diabetes. To the morons that put carpet over her, lmfao, that is really screwed up. By the way Mommy, this is the open forums so even if it is potty humor go trash some other thread, like the farting in public video that some body posted, etc...

[Mrs.Mosh]

I don't think you are getting the point.

I never understood how anyone could get that size, but I wouldn't laugh at someone being treated badly because they are big.
Think about how her son felt.

This thread reminds me of kids making fun of that one child that was different. Really sad.

If you have nothing nice (or intelligent) to say....don't say anything at all.

If you have to post your opinion, do it with a little bit of class. Some of these replies or really unnessary, and borderline..

[Mosh]

You are missing the point...I guess par for the course for some teenagers.
You are trying to make fun of a topic that isnt funny at all.
The way they treated her is wrong. It would be no different that someone throwing your corpse into a plastic trash can,and dumping you in a septic tank.
Fat, tall, skinny,short...it doesnt matter.
havent you ever heard "respect the deceased" ?
Her troubles are over.For many of you...your troubles are just starting..


Why dont you go trash some other site instead of this one. Dont tell someone who has been here for over 4 years adding REAL content to this site, to flake off.

By the looks of the thread authors profile...You already have 2 infractions for postwhoring and worthless content.
What else needs to be said there?

Now.... go cry to your "mommy".

[factoryX]

how else where they going to get her out of trailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro building? dude she did not even fit in a trailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro u-haul! the tarp thing was not called for, but really? she wieghed 750 pounds, could not fit through the door with out help, really? how is this not funny? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3T0GRjxOP98

I feel sorry for her but her wieght is the average for 3-4 adult males... and as for the kid I feel sorry for him to have to loose a parent but what did his friends think of his mom not being able to leave the room? how was she able to go to the bathroom? was someone doing it for her?

and as for post whoring, 1 was not and the other was.... I have been here since 07 and had no issues what so ever and have even sold stuff on this site to other trikers.

[Mrs.Mosh]

If you watch the video (in the original link you posted) one of the officials said they had the proper equipment to use for people up to 1000 lbs. The team working was just to lazy and disrespectful to do it correctly.

I don't care what size she was...they did it wrong, and with her family there watching is just disturbing. I am shocked at how many of you found it funny:rolleyes:
