"It happened late Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning at the home of a
600-pound woman who was having trouble breathing. Rescuers went in not
knowing how difficult it would be to get her out. 40-year-old Gail Grinds was
literally stuck to her couch and had to be removed surgically at the
hospital.

Authorities estimate she had been on the couch anywhere from two to five
years.

Martin County Fire amd Rescue crews faced what seemed to be an impossible
mission. Everyone going inside had to wear protective gear. The stench was so
powerful they had to blast in fresh air.

They tried to cut out the front door, but at four-and-a-half feet wide, it
wouldn't work. They had to cut plywood since a normal stretcher wouldn't do.

An ambulance was too small, so they brought in a trailer to get her out.
While rescue crews came up with a back-door rescue plan, detectives secured
what had become a crime scene, questioning family members about how it got so
bad.

Using planks, they loaded the woman on to the trailer, still attached to the
couch. Removing her would be too painful, since her body is grafted to the
fabric. After years of staying put, her skin has literally become one with
the sofa and it must be surgically removed.

Detectives are investigating whether they have a case of neglect, or if it is
simply a very sad story.

Grinds was taken to the Martin Memorial hospital where doctors removed her
from the couch, but she died in spite of all the attempts to save her life."

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — A man who once weighed more than half a ton has lost
321 pounds under the care of a team of doctors, and he hopes to lose 450 pounds
more.

Patrick Deuel, 42, of Valentine, Neb., weighed 1,072 pounds when he was admitted
to Sioux Falls' Avera McKennan Hospital eight weeks ago. Deuel, who is just
under six feet tall, is on a 1,200 calorie-a-day diet.

"If we hadn't gotten him here, he'd be dead now," said Dr. Fred Harris, who's
heading the treatment.

Deuel, a former restaurant manager has been bedridden since last fall. He has
battled heart failure, thyroid problems, diabetes, pulmonary hypertension and
arthritis, and needed help just to roll over in bed.

"Until recently, I wasn't able to see any light at the end of the tunnel," he
said from his hospital bed.

A group known as the League of Human Dignity helped arrange for Deuel to be
driven to a local livestock scale, where he could be weighed.

According to the Guinness World Records website, the record for heaviest man in
the world is 1,397 pounds, held by Jon Brower Minnoch of Bainbridge, Wash., who
died in 1983.

Deuel, who has battled weight problems all his life and blames his condition in
part on genetics, said it took months to find a hospital. Those closer to his
home balked at admitting him, he said.

"I got scared because I couldn't help him anymore, and I didn't know who would
help him," said his wife, Edith.

Harris said Deuel's care could cost millions of dollars, much of which the
hospital may have to cover. Officials found a special ambulance, and hospital
workers joined two beds to accommodate Deuel.

One of Deuel's goals is to walk out of the hospital. He also wants to go to a
Nebraska Cornhuskers football game, and just take a walk with his wife.

"Even though he's faced negativity all these years, he's not a negative person,"
Edith Deuel said. "He's almost always been able to stay bubbly and make jokes
and be happy."
