480-Pound Woman Dies After Six Years On Couch - GoFuckYourself.com

OMG her fat had fused to the couch.

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

Gayle Laverne Grinds died 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.

A preliminary autopsy on the 4-foot-10-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 as well as 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. 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.
