Obese Ohio Man Found Fused to Chair He Sat in for 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 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.

Turns out the landlord is the head of the Bellaire, OH Chamber of Commerce. In another of her rental houses, a single mother's children were taken away to protective custody citing the "deplorable living conditions".

The young man cited in the story died this afternoon. He was 43 years old and weighed over 400 lbs. The chair was a recliner and they had to dismantle it to remove it from him. He'd fused to it... The other tenants in the home were described as "mentally challenged".
