We had a 800 person in my town. Too big to fit through
door

We had to chop hold in wall to get him out so could go to hospital

Too big for gurney and ambulance - we used a mattress strapped to flat bed tow truck

Look on nurses faces was classic when backed tow truck into ambulance emterance............

I believe the Germans via the Siemens corp. patented at crematorium during WWII that utilized body fat to supplement the heat of combustion.

It’s like burning a couple of hundred pounds of chicken fat!

Perhaps they should have gone with an old fashioned outdoor pyre.

Flour and corn starch are explosive when dispersed in air.

Bad idea.

Little bit of baking soda is a great extinguishing agent.

If he was only 2/3 fat (533 pounds), that’s about 70 gallons of fat (if human fat is similar to pork fat).

No wonder it generated a conflagration.

This can’t be true. Teddy Kennedy died years ago.

Hubby had one of those for years. Came home complaining about how his back was broke after the guy died and they had to cut a hole in the wall of the home to get him out.
