600-Pound Woman Dies After Being Surgically Removed From Couch
It happened late Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning at the home of a 600-pound woman who was having trouble breathing. Rescuers went in not knowing how difficult it would be to get her out. 40-year-old Gail Grinds was literally stuck to her couch and had to be removed surgically at the hospital.
Authorities estimate she had been on the couch anywhere from two to five years.
That is really sick. Makes me think twice about sitting through ten hour ashlee simpson marathons.
