A dramatic rescue ended tragically in Florida Wednesday when a woman died after being stuck to her couch. Rescuers responded to a call at the Martin County home of a woman who was having trouble breathing.

The difficulty arose when emergency workers failed, after six hours, to dislodge 480-pound Gayle Laverne Grinds, from the couch in her home. Workers said the home was filthy, and Grinds, 40, was too large to get up from the couch, even to use the bathroom. Authorities estimate that she had been on the couch anywhere from two to six years. Her skin had reportedly grafted to the fabric in the couch. Rescuers removed a sliding glass door in order to lift the couch, with the woman on it, and load it onto a trailer behind a pickup truck.

She died at Martin Memorial Hospital South, Orlando, still attached to the couch. A preliminary autopsy on the the four-foot, ten-inch woman lists the cause of death as "morbid obesity."


Couldn't even imagine.... :(

There was a guy who "cared" for her, fed her and what not. He said he tried to move her from the couch a couple of times but was unsuccessful. Its sad..and the worst part is, she sat on the couch so long her skin attached to the sofa material...which had to be surgically removed.

thats a hard thing to imagin, how he skin was apart of the sofa.. it really groses me out, how long do you think it took for it to do that?

Well it said she hadn't moved from the sofa for 6 years...so i couldnt really give you a number of when the skin started to attach itself. They couldnt lift the couch out of the house, they had to remove sliding glass doors and pull her out with a truck...Why do people let themselves get like this? Mcdonalds is probably the cause of this....lol
