GIRL DIES CAUSE TOO BIG TO LIFT

A grossly obese teenager died in a house fire because she was too heavy for firefighters to rescue.

Jamaya Herron, 18, who tipped the scales at more than 35 stone, collapsed after being overcome by smoke at her parents' home in the Chicago suburb of Rockford.
Emergency workers rescued two other children from the house but they struggled to lift Jamaya on time.
By the time they got her out of the property, the teenager was pronounced dead.
A post mortem later showed she had suffocated. Very sad.
