I don't think that is a myth though I don't know where it happened.
Those of you that know who Israel Kamakawiwole is knows how big he was. He could not ride in the regular ambulance let alone any of the stretchers that most of us use. I am sure it took a whole fire company to help move him into the rig. I know the hospital had to weigh him on the freight scale rather than the people scale.
