Civil Defence crane used to bury this man

Civil defence men used a crane to bury a heavy man who died because of health problems associated with obesity, as he weighed nearly 220kg before death.

Relatives resorted to the civil defence to take Nayef to the cemetery in the southern Saudi town of Khamis Mushait after they failed to carry the body.

“Civil defence units used a crane to lift the body and dangle it into the grave,” the Arabic language daily 'Sabq' said without specifying his age.
