Obese Ohio Man Dies After Being Fused to Chair for 2 Years

A morbidly obese Ohio man has died 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, WTOV-TV reported Wednesday.

The unnamed 43-year-old man's roommates called police who found him unconscious. He was taken to Wheeling Hospital in nearby West Virginia, where he later died. The 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, WTRF-TV reported earlier. 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.

Enjoying your lunch everybody?

The manager of the local KFC was in tears as he was quoted as saying, "This is terrible news. It shouldn't have happened and we will all miss him"

What a terrible story, why on earth didn't his girlfriend seek help on his behalf and stop feeding his habit?

Sometimes love means saying no

If he was "Fused to his chair" the person who was stuffing him with food should be tried for manslaughter and abuse.
