Grossly obese Roslyn Hines (51) of New York City was taking her 3-yr-old boy

to the bath when she suffered a massive coronary and fell on him. Mother

and child are both dead.

Hines lived on public assistance. Her oldest son (34) is homeless. Her

daughter (25) is โ€œemotionally disturbedโ€ (apparently autistic). Hines

herself suffered serious health problems: lupus and asthma, as well as,

obviously, a heart condition. She had also suffered a stroke.

The little 3-yr-old boy was adopted.
