Canada frees man too big for jail
Canadian authorities have released a prisoner known as Big Mike who was found to be too fat to fit in his cell.
Michel Lapointe is a convicted drugs gang member arrested in 2006 who weighs 450lb (205kg).
He could not fit on the chair in his Montreal prison cell and his body protruded six inches on either side of his bed, press reports said.
Officials ruled that Lapointe's prison conditions were "difficult" because of his health.
