This news story from Stuart, Florida, reported by WFTV.com:
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. …
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.
