BELLAIRE, OHIO - An Ohio man is fighting for his life after he had to be cut out of his house.

The 43-year-old morbidly obese man sat in a chair for two years without moving. His skin was apparently welded to the chair with urine and feces.

"Well, the chair was outside, they had to take a section of the wall down to the house to get him out. The chair was very filthy (grimaces) a lot of odor to it. Going in the house, the house was not clean. The living room where the man lived in his chair was very filthy, very deplorable. It’s unbelievable that somebody lives in conditions like that," said Jim Chase, Bellaire, and Ohio Code Enforcer. "I instructed the landlord this morning and the two people, the tenants at the house they had to get it cleaned, there's no way they can live in something like that, and so they are working on it. So, I'll be going back daily, checking on it, making sure that they get it cleaned up and serviceable. If not, they must get out."

Some officers said it’s the worst thing they ever responded to. One officer even threw away his uniform.
