EMERGENCY crews had to smash down the wall of a flat during a 17-hour bid to rescue a 50st heart attack victim. They then built a ramp to get him out his first-floor council pad in an estimated £10,000 operation.
Among those there were more than 25 firefighters, 15 paramedics, five cops and an urban search and rescue team — who normally deal with earthquakes. Council officials were also on hand to survey damage to the block in Acton, West London, which is home to more than 40 residents.
The operation began with a 999 call at 2am on Friday. Medics arrived and treated the heart attack patient — known only as Manuel.
Fire crews were summoned at 9am to knock down an outside wall. They then built a plywood ramp and used ropes to hoist the patient from his king-sized bed on to a stretcher, before wheeling him into an ambulance at 8pm. He was taken to a special ward at St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington.
Neighbours told how Manuel lives on takeaway deliveries.
Vernon Bannister, 74, said: “Last time I went in he had the biggest TV I have ever seen. This is the third time they’ve tried to take him — the last time the bed broke. Now they’ve had to take half the building apart. There’s other people in this building that are sick and they have to pay for it.”
700lbs
50 stone is equal to 700 lbs.
You beat many seconds.
50 stone weight is about 700 pounds. Wow a big guy.
“50 stone weight is about 700 pounds. Wow a big guy.”
It is oddly comforting to know we are not the only ones with people like that.
If he wasn’t dead after 17 hours, one has to wonder if he really suffered a heart attack at all.
It is dangerously unhealthy and absurd to let oneself get that obese.
rescue a 50st heart attack victim.
How about the first 49 victims? Or better as this his 50th heart attack?
‘EMERGENCY crews had to smash down the wall of a flat during a 17-hour bid to rescue a 50st heart attack victim.”
If they have 50 heart attack victims, it could only be due to a new round of boosters.
Or better as this ...
Or was this...
He HAD to have a personal talior to make all of his clothing
Exactly
Thanks. I had no idea what 50st was.
This story is sad on many levels and how is it possible for a person to sit at home and eat themselves to death on take-out food in front of a big-screen tv?
Full disclosure - I am assuming that he was “disabled” and on the public teat. It has happened here in the US too.
PS - I am NOT going to suggest this was possibly the vaccine, but at this point who knows? It sounds like the vaccine might be the least of his problems.
Not to mention stressing the floors of parking garages.
I don’t understand how anyone even does it.
There was a similar news story here, in the States, a few years ago about a woman who had to be rescued. If I remember correctly, the crew took out a wall and used a forklift and flat bed car hauler to take her away. Her family complained and threatened to sue over the indignity.
Salads and walking the last two decades were not an option...
