Rescuers Cut Through Second-Floor Wall To Extract Obese Man

SUFFOLK COUNTY, NY (PIX11)— Suffolk county cops and first responders thought they were answering a call to help a man who had fallen in an upstairs apartment bathroom in Center Moriches but they found much more, including a house with debris stacked almost to the ceiling. They ended up cutting out a second floor window to rescue the man described as obese."This is just so sad and unfortunate to see this happen." said the man's friend Janet Pepe. She says her pal, identified only as Marty was a big guy who liked candy. That love of sweets may have put him in danger.
