WICHITA, Kan. — Deputies say a woman in western Kansas became stuck on her boyfriend's toilet after sitting on it for two years.

Ness County Sheriff Bryan Whipple said it appeared the 35-year-old Ness City woman's skin had grown around the seat. She initially refused emergency medical services but was finally convinced by responders and her boyfriend that she needed to be checked out at a hospital.

"We pried the toilet seat off with a pry bar and the seat went with her to the hospital," Whipple said. "The hospital removed it."

Whipple said investigators planned to present their report Wednesday to the county attorney, who will determine whether any charges should be filed against the woman's 36-year-old boyfriend.

"She was not glued. She was not tied. She was just physically stuck by her body," Whipple said. "It is hard to imagine. ... I still have a hard time imagining it myself."

He told investigators he brought his girlfriend food and water, and asked her every day to come out of the bathroom.

"And her reply would be, `Maybe tomorrow,"' Whipple said. "According to him, she did not want to leave the bathroom."

The boyfriend called police on Feb. 27 to report that "there was something wrong with his girlfriend," Whipple said, adding that he never explained why it took him two years to call.

Police found the clothed woman sitting on the toilet, her sweat pants down to her mid-thigh. She was "somewhat disoriented," and her legs looked like they had atrophied, Whipple said.

"She said that she didn't need any help, that she was OK and did not want to leave," he said.

She was taken to a hospital in Wichita, about 150 miles southeast of Ness City. Whipple said she has refused to cooperate with medical providers or law enforcement investigators.

Authorities said they did not know if she was mentally or physically disabled.

Police have declined to release the couple's names, but the house where authorities say the incident happened is listed in public records as the residence of Kory McFarren. No one answered his home phone number.

The case has been the buzz Ness City, said James Ellis, a neighbor.

"I don't think anybody can make any sense out of it," he said.

Ellis said he had known the woman since she was a child but that he had not seen her for at least six years.

He said she had a tough childhood after her mother died at a young age and apparently was usually kept inside the house as she grew up. At one time the woman worked for a long-term care facility, he said, but he did not know what kind of work she did there.

"It really doesn't surprise me," Ellis said of the bathroom incident. "What surprises me is somebody wasn't called in a bit earlier."

That is honestly one of the strangest things I've ever heard. Her skin grew into the toilet seat? That's horrifying.

junecleaver · 03-13-2008, 11:23 PM

Ok, out of all the strange, out of this world stories i've heard (like the post cards from the 1930s and various others) this one has got to top it

Why on earth did she stay on that toilet? Oh my, i dont believe i could sit on it for more than 5 minutes, much less 2 years

Dean Winchester · 03-13-2008, 11:24 PM

why would she stay on the toilet so long?

At least she never had to make a run for the bathroom, cause she was already there

junecleaver · 03-13-2008, 11:27 PM

I know she had to eat and drink on that thing, super gross. and how did she sleep? how did she bathe/brush her teeth? Boy, i could write 10 pages of questions for that woman.

InspectorExstead · 03-13-2008, 11:39 PM

This is not the first time someone has been stuck to something for years and had their skin grow onto an object Mikey. Here is a story from 2004 where a woman was stuck to her sofa after being there for SIX YEARS!!!!

STUART, Fla. -- A 480-pound Martin County woman has died after emergency workers tried to remove her from the couch where she had remained for about six years.

Gayle Laverne Grinds, 40, died Wednesday, after a failed six-hour effort to dislodge her from the couch in her home. Workers say the home was filthy, and Grinds was too large to get up from the couch to even use the bathroom.

Everyone going inside the home had to wear protective gear. The stench was so powerful they had to blast in fresh air.

A preliminary autopsy on the the four-foot, ten-inch woman lists the cause of death as "morbid obesity." But officials want to know more about the circumstances inside the home.

Investigators say Grinds lived with a man named Herman Thomas, who says he tried to take care of her the best he could. He has told them he tried repeatedly to get her up, but simply couldn't. No charges have been filed, but officials are looking into negligence issues.

Emergency workers had to remove some sliding glass doors and lift the couch, with Grinds still on it, to a trailer behind a pickup truck. Removing her from the couch would be too painful, since her body was grafted to the fabric. After years of staying put, her skin had literally become one with the sofa and had to be surgically removed.

She died at Martin Memorial Hospital South, still attached to the couch.

Neighbors say they had no idea Grinds lived at the duplex, though they had seen Thomas and some children outside.

I do not understand how a person just becomes too big to get up from a couch all of a sudden. Like the day before she probably could have gotten up and down fine, but all of a sudden one day she just could not get up???? Strange and mind boggling.

junecleaver · 03-14-2008, 02:12 AM

Irene, you just proved the story CAN get worse

What is with these people. To sit on something for even one whole day will definitely drive a person nuts. This is sickening though, the woman on the couch had to have, well, deposited waste on her sofa lol and that must be 95% of the stench right there. What a health hazard. I'm suprised that didn't kill her instead, unless she wore diapers and got them changed regularly.
