Don't read if you are squeamish

To be fair, although it says he sat there for two years, that doesn't mean he was a rotting, defecating mess the whole time. It would have taken some time to get the point of rotting flesh/fused to the actual chair after all. So maybe even for the whole first year, things were bad but not the worst.

And I feel like he must have had someone helping him use a bedpan or something, at least for a while. Maybe later his girlfriend gave up but like was mentioned, he can't have been sitting in two years worth of poo, someone would have noticed that!

:homo: Hence exactly the reason why I had my questions raised as I posted earlier to the information given by that news report. There's gotta be more to that story than what's being reported. :ninja

However if he already started rotting within the year....his situation would be much worst than what's being presented now. If anyone had ever seen how maggots can quickly reproduce- then his whole flesh with all the bacteria from the rotting flesh wld have metastasized more than what he's having now :yuk

I've seen a hit and run victim on the freeway who was covered by snow during one winter in Chicago. He was found 3 days after. His skull was fractured and parts of his brain exposed when he reached the Operating room. His brain was full of maggots....and some other parts of his body too that had been injured by the accident. We collected a small pan full of maggots :yuk as the maggots migrated to some other parts where the contaminated cerebrospinal fluid from the brain seeped through ( cross contamination/cross infection)

That's only 3 days :rolleyes: So imagine this guy even just a year would look like IF he was truly infected with maggots that Looooonnnggggggg.......:ninja

Yeah, and why was he still such a fat bastard after so much time? The maggots should have eaten him thin!:24:

Sort of if such were the case...... and there are of course exceptions to what the maggots can eat ( rotten flesh) which if there were cross contamination within the body system and there'd been no cure on the infected flesh then aye it can happen he'd just be bones now :eek

example is an infected amputated leg: the infection can easily get worst and worst and infects larger areas of the leg even if there's treatment at times- depends on how the body is able to fight that infection and how he responds to the treatment regimen. How much more if there's no treatment like this dude??! :ninja

.....but i don't think that's the situation with him and hence my Qn that it's impossible that he had been in that situation for 2 years as the news reports :ninja :24: :24:

Was this guy dead when they found him?

I heard that maggots only eat rotting flesh though. Is that right? I'm not 100% lol :24: but that'd explain it, since only bits of him would be rotting.

That is correct.

The story is very believable to me, the rotting flesh would of been the result of 'bed sores', like long term hospital patients can get if not turned often.

The only thing that doesn't make sense is how the landord claims she couldn't tell anything was wrong on her visits (towels don't magically cover odors); she's either horribly daft or didn't give a shit so long as he paid rent.

Lovely friends/roomates he had too.:sarcasm

The man died by the way.
