800-Pound Man Becomes Human La-Z-Boy

Columbia, South Carolina - When Daniel Webb, 33, was released from the hospital in MarchMarch reviewsMarch reviews after being treated for a knee injury, he weighed over 500-pounds. When he returned home, he sat in a recliner in the mobile home he shared with his girlfriend. He sat there for 8-months until he died of a heart attack – weighing 800-pounds. He simply could not get out of the chair. Ever. He slept in the chair, he shit in the chair, he would preach the word of God online from the chair. When his mother made the call to 911 that her son was in a lot of pain, firefighters had to cut him out of the chair. They also had to cut a hole in the wall of the mobile home to get him out of it. He died a few hours later, his body covered with sores and a “very bad odor.” His girlfriend blames all of this on the fact that they did not have health insurance and no one would come out to see Webb.

You know, the thing I find most surprising in this story is that Daniel Webb was able to find a woman out there. Why can’t I find a woman willing to clean the shit off of my chair? Huh? I mean goddamn, it isn’t going to clean itself, ya’ know?

    I am disturbed by the image of his shit being squeezed out from between his asscheeks and a fake leather recliner...kinda makes me think of a gogurt, but browner...

    She's right below this story on the FP. She might be fucking her ex's but she's rockin' with a sponge and bucket.

    If this were the first time someone has grown so close to their recliner that they merged as one, I would be shocked. It just makes me think about trees growing around power lines. Cheese cloth. It's the mesh maybe? The wrap that comes around pork roasts....The smell of rotten potatoes. Hot chili shits. Alright, tangent over. I need some coffee.
  • How would that chair even manage to get cleaned if he couldn't get up from it? Was it an oversized potty with a hole cut in the chair for him to shit into? Either way....yecccccccccccch!
  • I really don't even want to imagine the manner in which dude relieved himself.

    but everybody poops...themselves?

    The first thing that I notice is they blame this on not having health insurance. Not on him being a big lazy-boy fat arse!

    Don't you be giving me a hard time - it's early and I have a case of the stupids.

    Morbid, for some strange reason I don't believe that she did clean the shit off his chair :)
    What I want to know is if they blame it on him not having insurance then how did he have his knee injury treated? If he was in the hospital without insurance then surely they could tack on a couple thousand more to get him help, am I right or wrong?

    well, if he had medicaid or whatever the state calls it, they might pay for some hospitalization things but not home care, which is what i think she is talking about. but still, she is sorta talkin out her ass. he had choices. i am not talking about his eating, but about healthcare. he coulda called the ambulance sooner and gone to the hosp but he didnt. and he is an adult and can make his own decisions, albeit stupid ones. so the result, is an intimate relationship with el chairo. and then an untimely death.

    So sad. Maybe at some point society will understand nobody chooses this tortured life, or disease. These people deserve love, understanding and help, not contempt. May he RIP.
  • MeAhna
    I don't mean to sound naive or even like a smartass here but, disease? I've never heard of a disease that makes people get that big, unless eating is a disease...?
  • ohno
    ^^ wait...what? please tell me you're joking!

    yeah, I think when you sit down in a chair and eat until you gain 300lbs in 8 months you've pretty much not only CHOSEN your tortured life, but embraced it, cracked it open, and shoved it down your own gullet.

    It's not a choice to sit on one's already fat ass in a chair and not get up?
    Not a choice to gain 300 more pounds??
    BULLSHIT!!

    Hmmm...nah, I think when you get to the point that your ass is so massive that you're reduced to shitting yourself in a recliner in your trailer, what you really need is weight loss surgery and a good de-lousing.

    It IS sad and people DO deserve love and understanding, not contempt. But make no mistake about it, it IS a choice. No one makes you do anything - only you have complete control over your choices, actions and feelings. I've been overweight all my life - and not just a little. I had gastric bypass surgery about 10 years ago and lost 100 lbs....still about 100 lbs. shy of my dream weight. Been yoyo-ing ever since. There is no one in this world I can blame for my weight being what it is but myself. I make the choice each and every time I put food in my mouth. I may not always feel like I have a choice, but I do. Maybe this guy had some emotional problems to work through that would have helped him get better, but still....his choice.

    Why was the wife sitting around, waiting for help instead of helping her husband herself? If mine couldn't get off the couch after two days, you can bet your ass I'd be calling for people and if nobody wanted to help, I'd make a pest out of myself until they finally did help just to get rid of me.

    It makes absolutely no sense that they couldn't get healthcare coverage. They had so many resources available for them because of the baby.

    Makes perfect sense to me. That is what health insurance companies do if they can get away with it, drop people with conditions they think are a liability (or make premiums so high that things become impossible). It happens to lots of people, so it's not hard to imagine.

    According to the write-up on FOX:

    His health kept getting worse, and Ada Webb said she begged hospital officials to keep him after doctors treated his knee injury in March. But the couple had no way to pay and were sent home.

    For his first few weeks home, Daniel Webb was open to the idea of seeing someone. Getting to them was the problem.

    "Everybody kept telling us, if you get here, we'll help you. We didn't have no way of getting him up, and nobody was willing to come help us," Ada Webb said. "He just kind of said, 'it's in God's hands' at that point."
