Unable to leave his home in Perpignan, in southwestern France, for years, a man weighing around 300 kilograms was evacuated by a crane on Tuesday after hours of preparation and intervention by nearly 50 people. The delicate intervention, potentially dangerous for man, Alain Panabière, required the consolidation of the two-story house located in a neighborhood with narrow streets and the destruction of part of the facade.

The 53-year-old man was transported horizontally in a large white container, suspended by a crane, and then placed in a specialized ambulance, the Pyrenees-Orientales department prefecture reported. More than 50 people have been mobilized since the morning, including police, firefighters and medical teams, but also city and department officials.

“In order not to run any risk, residents were invited to temporarily leave their homes during the operation,” the City Council said. Panabière will be transferred to a Montpellier hospital for a “global assessment” of his health, before being transferred a few weeks later to a rehabilitation center, according to the head of the department of endocrinology-diabetes-nutrition, Antoine Avignon.

“When we remobilize an immobilized person for two to five years, there is a risk of circulatory decompensation, of thrombosis. It is a cardiovascular system that is at rest for a long time that is reactivated ”, said the doctor.

A prisoner at home for years and immobilized on the ground for more than a year “probably after breaking his leg,” according to his lawyer Jean Codognès, Panabière was fed by his brother, but his health rapidly deteriorated.

After months of negotiations between his family, his lawyer and the authorities, a solution was found and the operation was prepared and coordinated by the services of the State, the department and the mayor’s office.

Codognès sent a letter to the Minister of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin, at the end of October requesting an urgent intervention. A few days later, his client and the National League Against Obesity filed a complaint for “not assisting a person in danger.”
