The story of the woman whose skin had grafted to the sofa she'd been on for 6 years has haunted me since I first read it. And now it has happened again.
Apparently this guy is so far still alive, whereas poor Gayle Grinds never made it off the couch, not in this world. [UPDATE: He died. =\ ]
BELLAIRE, Ohio -- Police said a Bellaire man had to be removed from his home on Washington Street Sunday.
Police said the man's skin had become attached to the fabric of the chair after he sat in it for two years
Authorities said he was sitting in his own feces and urine and maggots were visible.
Police were called in to help transfer the man to the hospital.
Authorities said they had to cut a hole in the wall to get the man out of his home.
Shockingly, two other able-bodied people lived there---another man, who had a separate bedroom, and the girlfriend of the man who was stuck in the chair. Officials say the girlfriend served food to him, since he never got up.
