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.

What the hell is wrong with you people? This is an article from 2004! Read the date right below the headline!

Let's talk about old news. Coming up, a thread about Lincoln's assassination and the purchase of Louisiana from France.

I was thinking this sounded familiar. But then I guess everyone has to have their first day on the internet at some point

Rob · 11-09-2005, 10:41 PM

That's so old they even based an episode of "Nip Tuck" on it.

Paraskass · 11-09-2005, 10:54 PM

Sin · 11-09-2005, 11:04 PM

Why not?If you sit on the same exact spot, your skin is sure to get broken..like a serious rash you know what I mean, like you fall on the bike kinda shit, and as the person doesn't move from where she's located the fabric could get 'stuck' under the skin as it grows back.

Brent_Moe · 11-10-2005, 02:05 AM

If that's indeed real, then I could say that that man is quite stupid for letting her die ther and not asking for any help at all.

Oh lord...

Words completely escape me.

Did her husband and children live in that mess?

Sarah_Jayne · 11-10-2005, 03:04 AM

If that is real she had serious issues beyond her weight and her partner should have contacted someone to get help.

I do wonder if this was a feeder/feedee thing though.

Bake · 11-10-2005, 03:12 AM

I am the only one thats uderstands denail here or what

tristan_D · 11-10-2005, 10:46 PM

Reminds me of this old Johnny Depp/ Leo Dicaprio movie where their obese mom died after walking up the stairs.

abadfish · 11-10-2005, 11:22 PM

Possible negligence charges? You've got to be fucking kidding me. Obviously the one person that was negligent is now dead. She caused that... nasty.
