528-pound mom dies 5 months after birth



Victoria Lacatus, shown arriving by ambulance on Feb. 17, 2010 at a hospital in Bucharest to deliver her first baby, has died of a heart attack.

Wonder why.
A 25-year-old Romanian woman weighing 528 pounds who gave birth to a baby girl more than 5 months ago, has died.
Relatives of Victoria Lacatus say she died of a heart attack Sunday after developing a high fever and breathing problems.

Doctors from Craiova hospital in southern Romania said Lacatus' heart stopped. Hospital manager Florin Petrescu said doctors tried to resuscitate Lacatus for 30 minutes, a task made difficult because of her extreme obesity...

Rasasingham said she would be at risk of clots, diabetes, post-birth bleeding and infection.
Same risks as all fat moms.
