maynard Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Obese Ohio Man Found Fused to Chair He Sat in for 2 YearsPublished March 29, 2011A morbidly obese Ohio man was in the hospital Tuesday after police found him fused to a chair he had not moved from in two years and were forced to cut a hole in the wall of his house just to get him out, WTRF-TV reported.The unnamed man lived with two able-bodied roommates -- including his girlfriend, who officials said fed him since he never got up -- in a home in Bellaire, Ohio. The roommates called police upon finding the man unresponsive on Sunday.Officers who responded to the scene said that the man's skin was fused to the fabric of chair and that he was sitting in his own feces and urine with maggots visible.One officer said it was the worst thing he had ever responded to. Another told the local TV station he had to throw away his uniform after helping remove the man from the chair."The living room where the man lived in his chair was very filthy, very deplorable. It's unbelievable that somebody lives in conditions like that," Jim Chase, a local city code enforcer, told WTRF."I instructed the landlord this [Monday] morning and the two people, the tenants at the house, they had to get it cleaned, there's no way they can live in something like that, and so they are working on it," he added.The landlord told WTRF that the man used to be an active person and said she had no idea how bad his condition was since he covered himself with a blanket every time she came to visit.Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/health/2011/03/29/obese-ohio-man-fused-chair-sat-2-years/#ixzz1I5zUvnC8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christine Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 If he were a wealthy man, I would say she was after his money. It would be an explanation why she didn´t do anything to get him out of this chair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators timm525 Posted March 30, 2011 Administrators Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 That was exactly the plot of a Nip Tuck episode years ago.

Frey Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 There was a woman in Kansas a few years ago tha was lived in her bathroom because she got stuck to the toilet seat. She wasn't obese, but had sat there so long that her skin became stuck to the toilet seat. She had a boyfriend,too.There may even be a thread about that in here...
