A US man weighing 408 kilograms, who sat in a chair for the last eight months of his life, died after medical workers had to dismantle his mobile home to remove him, local media said.
Daniel Webb, 33, became immobile in March after hurting his knee and sat in the reclining chair in his South Carolina home for months while refusing doctor visits because he lacked health insurance, local WSPA-TV said.
Authorities said Mr Webb's wife Ada called paramedics to their Greenwood County mobile home on Wednesday after he complained of intense pain.
They had to cut him from the chair with special tools, after which they found him with sores over his body and covered in human waste and then dismantled half of his house to get him to an ambulance.
He died from cardiac arrest on the way to the hospital.
"If he would have had the proper care we tried to get for him back in March this would have never happened," Mr Webb's wife said.
