Obese man stuck in chair for 2 years, rescued

London: A 43-year-old American man had become so obese that he got stuck in a chair for two years and had to be cut free by rescuers after he became unconscious.

The unnamed man from Bellaire, Ohio, was found sitting in his own faeces and urine and covered in maggots by health officials at his house.

Paramedics were called to the house by his girlfriend after she found him unconscious. She later admitted to the medics she fed him by hand as he had become too big to get up, The Sun reported.
