**Police discovered Foster’s condition after a church volunteer who had been caring for her for a decade called 911 to say that Foster was “not acting herself,” per WTOL. The volunteer also told police he had not seen Foster anywhere but her chair since at least July.**
Church volunteer sounds like a dim bulb.
“...living in squalor, surrounded by feces and trapped in one chair for months.... weighed 550 pounds”
Does not compute. All the neglect and yet she could still eat all these months to maintain the heft.
God bless the men and women who have to do this kind of work! Takes a special breed.
What was the “crime committed?”
Something is not right here. Last seen July of 2016...Skin molded to chair. One has to urinate and defecate. Where did all of that go? Someone had to feed her in the last year no matter what she weighed.
Charges to come I bet.
About 12 years ago there was a thread about a woman who refused to leave the bathroom for months (years?) and her arse had fused with the toilet seat.
This happened before. A woman was so fat and sat in the same chair her skin grew in to the fabric. I think they had to cut a hole in the wall to get her, and the chair, to the hospital.
On one hand....
“In Springfield Township, Ohio, one house lay quiet for months, its neighbors not noticing anything unusual or alarming, according to the Toledo Blade.”
Then later it says....
“According to local media reports, police and first responders needed to wear hazmat suits in order to enter the house, but the volunteer said that the residence has smelled the same since he first began helping her. WTOL, however, reported that the smell reached the sidewalk.”
The smell reaching the sidewalk is not unusual????
Definitely the stuff of nightmares! Poor woman!
Foster, who weighed 550 pounds
They probably needed an 'only' in there after the 'who'.
Who cares. Climate Change is far more important.
Yo’ Mamma is so fat....
She was actually doing a test for NASA to see what would happen if you don’t move for months at a time like in stasis. They probably have others doing a multi-year test.
The result; bones become so weak they break at the slightest weight on them.
Yeah, I just made all that up, but the article did say her bones had become so weak and brittle they broke when she was moved.
bmfl
And then there's the smell.
