[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;44917123]I am not trying to be funny, I am seriously concerned about the logistical issues with moving a 400kg corpse. How do you even dispose of something so huge at once?[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Chubbs;44917088]In all seriousness they will probably use a crane.[/QUOTE]

Seriously they'll probably just build a new morgue over where he died

To quote Deuce Bigalow

Rest in one rather huge piece Manuel.

I remember watching a documentary about him a long time ago. It's easy to make puns and joke about him now, but he lived a pretty sad life. He wasn't one of those fame seekers who tried to gain a record for being fat as some people here are stating; he was an average cubicle worker who never had time for exercise (and when he did he did it inadequately, something that is also very average and common) and that spiraled into the point where he couldn't move without assistance. It is inconceivably difficult to burn fat when you become immobile as one might imagine. The fact that he was even able to lose as much weight as he did was a pretty amazing feat on its own and something I doubt most of the people here would have had the willpower for.
