Obese corpse a problem for coroner's office
Obese corpse a problem for coroner's office
By Kristin Bender, STAFF WRITER OAKLAND -- A day after summoning a crane to remove the body of a 700-pound West Oakland man, Alameda County coroner's officials Thursday were trying to figure out what to do with the corpse. Supervising Coroner Frank Gentle said authorities have not been able to find any family of William Lindelof, who died at a care home on West Street about 11 p.m. Tuesday. He was 49. Gentle said the man's parents, believed to be from Alameda, are dead, and no relatives have been located. Because of his size, Lindelof does not fit in a standard incinerator used for cremation or a standard casket, Gentle said. The body remains at the coroner's office in downtown Oakland. "We are having trouble figuring out what to do," Gentle said. A spokesman from the Casket Showroom in Fremont said he had never heard of a casket that could accommodate a man that size. The company's standard caskets are about 3 feet wide, and Lindelof was much wider. Officials said Lindelof had been complaining of chest pain and shortness of breath before he died Tuesday. The cause of death has been determined to be acute and chronic congestive heart failure due to massive obesity, Gentle said. On Wednesday, coroner's officials used a crane to remove the man's body from the care home. Once in the coroner's van, officials called on the Oakland Fire Department, which brought in a cargo net and helped transport the man into the morgue. |

Oh gosh isn't that horrible. I think caskets can be special ordered. I
knew someone that weighed between 600 to 700 pounds. It took several days to get the casket. This guy died he was only 34 years old. |

Unless he already arranged for a burial plot, or he's willed funds to himself for one, then he'd be cremated, no if's and's or but's. Casket size is a moot point. Also, it fails to mention where they're keeping his body. I doubt it fits in the morgue's cooler. |
