Bringing Down the House: "We can not die because no drawers", reported the Uruguayan fat

"We can not die because no drawers for obese" said Luis Cherro, president of Organized Gordos, an NGO that defends the Obese rights in Uruguay, after the death of a man of 145 kilos which could not be ensured due to lack of a coffin.

Hector Villegas, 145 kilos, died on Sunday and could not be ensured, because their families could not afford to pay for a private viewing and the municipality does not have drawers or stands to hold the weight, so you should make one in particular that was soon just for funeral Monday.

"It was a tremendously painful fact for us all," lamented Cherro told Radio El Espectador, adding that they receive "more than 300 complaints a year" for the same problem.

" not die because we can no drawers. We are claiming that neither in life nor in death there is inclusion, " said the owner of Organized Gordos, who last year waged a public campaign to demand the authorities to promote public policies to prevent discrimination suffered by obese.

"We're a society that ignores that obesity is the leading cause of death in Uruguay", Cherro said, adding that "so far there has been no clear policies to address this issue."

"If we warn, we save you fortunes to any government. It is a matter of state and the world is working well " added Cherro to the station, and regretted that the government does not recognize that obesity is a chronic disease. "
