people can not be forced out of their homes unless they are ruled incompetant by the "mental health professional"...if that guy wanted to be home and sit in his chair, then there was nothing anybody could do....

unless you work with people the size of that man....or even anyone over 350#....its extremely difficult to do anything with them....its a major problem just to turn them....to keep them clean ....you need several people just to hold up a leg and fold back the fat tissue...

all the physical therapies in the world can't do much for a patient that can not hold his own weight, which is probably the case with this guy....

what these people need is mandatory committment, but then we get into issues of the state interferring in civil rights...

“One officer said it was the worst thing he ever responded to. And most said the worst part of all was the smell. Ironically the landlord says the man in the chair rented from her before and used to be a vital active person.

She says she checked on them periodically but lately he always sat with a blanket over him. She says she had no idea it had come to this.

Sunday morning his housemates called officials when he was unresponsive. “
