This is not a pic of the woman in this story -- it's just a pic of a random 700-pound person.INDIANAPOLIS -- The Marion County Coroner's Office has come under fire after it was revealed that an obese woman was dragged from her home and hauled away on a trailer in front of family members following her death.
Teresa Smith, 48, who weighed 750 pounds, died Tuesday in her apartment on Indianapolis' northeast side.Officials at the scene told 6News' Jack Rinehart that the deputy coroner made the decision to call a towing service to remove the body from the home.
Smith's boyfriend and the couple's 13-year-old son, along with several neighbors, watched as Smith's body, still on her mattress, was dragged across the courtyard of the apartment complex, strapped down on the wrecker and covered with a piece of carpet.
"I think they should have handled it differently, putting her on a flatbed like they did. That was like putting a cow up there," said Smith's boyfriend, David Johnson. More here:

Well I figure the boyfriend called it about right
Different how? Maybe a crane could have came and lifted her out through the ceiling, symbolizing her soul ascending to heaven. Dumbass, she was 750 lbs, what did you want them to do. Have to regular guys come in with a stretcher and slowly walk her out. Even two American Gladiators couldn't have lifted her for that long.
Instead of a flat bed they should have used a moo-ving van.
They should have done it like the dead horse in "Animal House".
