Obese man found in his own excrement and maggots after being stuck in a chair for 2 years.

A lesson in when you’ve become too attached to possessions..

NY Daily News: A morbidly obese man had to be cut out of a chair
after not getting up for two years, officials said.

The unidentified 43-year-old man living in Bellaire, Ohio, was
discovered after his girlfriend and roommate called for help
when the man was found unconscious in a living room chair.

He had been in the chair so long, that he and the chair were now
one in the same– his skin fused to the fabric. He wasn’t alone
in his chair, however. He was in the company of an infestation
of maggots and his own excrement too.

We’ve got to wonder, what kind of mindset can someone possible
be in when they’re in that condition? Is that why he didn’t ask
for help? Or did he?

The man lived with a roommate and a girlfriend who prepared him
food since he was unable to get up.

While they were preparing all of those assuredly healthy treats
for their roommate and chairbound lover, didn’t they ever stop
to wonder where the waste was going? Didn’t they wonder if maybe
they should call for help when they brushed the maggots from his
cheek as he gobbled up his hearty meal?

And how did this all end?

Authorities were forced to cut a hole in the wall of the man’s
house to remove him to the hospital.

So much for roommates…

Thank you for passing alolng this local news.

My father used to tell the story of a man who never cleaned his dining
table; He just painted it every day. Soon it got too high, so he painted
the seat of the chair every day. Eventually he needed a ladder to get
into the chair and eat. One wayn tom avoid obesity.
