Man moved by cherry picker dies

March 25, 2004

A CRITICALLY ill obese man who had to be removed by a cherry picker from
his third-floor Sydney apartment has died.

Andrew Raymond, in his 30s and weighing about 300kg, died at Royal Prince
Alfred Hospital, a hospital spokeswoman said.

She did not know when he died.

Mr Raymond was taken to the hospital in a truck-style ambulance after he
was extracted from his flat at inner-Sydney Waterloo about 9pm (AEDT)
yesterday.

NSW Fire Brigade spokesman Michael Morris said up to 10 firefighters had
worked with police and ambulance officers for at least two hours last night
to free him.

Mr Morris said the circumstances of the rescue, which included using a
cherry picker, were "out of the ordinary".

why yes, there is a god. You should begin growing sideways
immediately and you will not be able to figure out why. You will be
the most obese person on record and you will be the object of your
own ridicule.

**** you and **** off.

Our cherry picker has a load capacity of 700 pounds, or "one big dooder" as
the previous owner noted.

"We"? As in you own your own cherry picker? If so I'm jealous.
That'd be perfect for tower work (the DH and I and many of our friends
are ham radio geeks).

Take care,

It's a toy at work. It's a 62 foot aerial two-man platform. Too big to keep
at my house. I have to tuck the Bobcat away as it is :-) I've considered
buying a bucket truck, but I can do most of what I need to do with frame
scaffolding or pumpjacks.
