480-Pound Woman Dies After Six Years On Couch

How fucked up is this shit, this bitch sat on the coutch for 5 years straight, shit pissed and everything right in the coutch. The EMTS had to drag the coutch out of the house and put it on a trailer to get her fatass to the hospital...

"STUART, Fla. -- A 480-pound Martin County woman has died after emergency workers tried to remove her from the couch where she had remained for about six years.


Gayle Laverne Grinds, 40, died Wednesday, after a failed six-hour effort to dislodge her from the couch in her home. Workers say the home was filthy, and Grinds was too large to get up from the couch to even use the bathroom.

Everyone going inside the home had to wear protective gear. The stench was so powerful they had to blast in fresh air.

A preliminary autopsy on the the four-foot, ten-inch woman lists the cause of death as "morbid obesity." But officials want to know more about the circumstances inside the home.

Investigators say Grinds lived with a man named Herman Thomas, who says he tried to take care of her the best he could. He has told them he tried repeatedly to get her up, but simply couldn't. No charges have been filed, but officials are looking into negligence issues.

Emergency workers had to remove some sliding glass doors and lift the couch, with Grinds still on it, to a trailer behind a pickup truck. Removing her from the couch would be too painful, since her body was grafted to the fabric. After years of staying put, her skin had literally become one with the sofa and had to be surgically removed.

She died at Martin Memorial Hospital South, still attached to the couch.

Neighbors say they had no idea Grinds lived at the duplex, though they had seen Thomas and some children outside. "

Not as gay as spelling couch, "coutch".

All I can really say is I feel really bad for the EMTs that had to brave that foulness.

It's actually one of those horrible mutation things. After being barely able to move for so long her crotch sort of melded into her couch...

I can't help but think that, had abortion been more socially acceptable 40 years ago, this entire situation could have been avoided...

i remember reading stories about people like this.

one fatass bitch lived on her bed and started having massive stomach pains. multiple doctors came to see her but couldn't diagnose the problem. when the EMT's came to take her to the hospital and started to move her, they found a CHICKEN BONE lodged under one of her fat rolls. it had been there for YEARS, and it was what was causing her stomach pain.
