Go Figure

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 “emotionally disturbed” (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.
