YORK DAILY RECORD/SUNDAY NEWS
Charleston Daily Mail (West Virginia)
York, Pa. - Coping with America's growing obesity doesn't end with death.
York County Coroner Barry Bloss recently said York Hospital's laboratory is considering renovating its morgue because bodies of more than 300 pounds can't fit into the drawers.
Because of the increasing number of obese bodies, the hospital is considering switching from its drawer system to a refrigerated room where the deceased can be wheeled in on litters.
Apparently, it's a growing problem for those dealing with death.
