Couch Potato
Let me preface this by saying this is truly one of the more disgusting stories in obesity I have ever heard.
Gayle Laverne Grinds, 40, passed away on Wednesday after valiant rescuers attempted for 6 hours to remove her from her couch. Normally, this wouldn't be so difficult, but let's get some stats on our gal Gayle:
Height: 4 Foot 10
Weight: 480 lbs
Age: 40
Years on couch: 6 years
Skin Color: Paisley
After spending 6 years sitting on a couch, her skin had grafted to the couch. On the bright side, she had somewhere to sit wherever she went, too bad she never left the house.
After Taking her on a trailer behind a pickup truck to the hospital, Grinds passed away still stuck to the couch.
