Obese man fused to his chair after 2 years
 
A 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.

He has since died.

I have no sympathy at all, as mean as that sounds.

Obese and overweight people should be forced to lose weight, it's getting out of hand.

Should the elderly be forced to take a sense MOT every year? That's what's gonna cost yer tax pennies trying to keep alzheimer deficit patients alive in care homes.

How do people let themselves become crack or heroin or even potheads Vicks?

They don't - it is a pernicous thing that gets over them. Until they cannot understand what is going-on and next hit.

Who were his roommates? A pair of rats? How could they possibly let this happen?
