Firefighters Rescue Heavyweight Corpse


Sep 9, 8:49 am ET

BERLIN (Reuters) - German undertakers struggling to carry a 661-pound corpse from a third floor Hamburg apartment called in the fire brigade for help -- but they couldn't handle the job either and ordered an industrial crane.
"It took six men and several hours to complete the task," said Gerhard Bramfeld, spokesman for the Hamburg fire services. "Its not your everyday 'put out the fire' case."

He's dead, just take a chain saw and cut 'em up into handy carrying sized pieces.

At least he wasn't attached to a couch.

Wonder how long the body was sitting there for. I mean, I could probably carry fresh corpses till the cows come home, but if it was a popper I might have just a bit more trouble.
