KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- A suburban Kansas City woman was left sitting in a vinyl recliner for so long that her skin had fused to the chair and she had to be pried out to be taken to a hospital after suffering an apparent stroke, authorities said.

Carol F. Brown's adult son told a state official he had left his 74-year-old mother in the chair for five days without helping her get up to use the bathroom or bathe because he was honoring her wishes to die in her Independence home, according to court documents that described the woman as a "rotting corpse that was still breathing." Brown later died.

It was in one of the Hannibal Lecter movies, perhaps Silence Of The Lambs.

Life imitating art...there was an episode of Nip/Tuck with this very storyline.

Actually, told to apply the Vick’s to the surgical mask you had to wear. And ALWAYS apply the Vick’s before donning the gloves. Trust me, you don’t want Vick’s inside the gloves.

Used to be a firefighter. Only had to do this once, thank
God.

Sad story. Almost unbelievable.

When you see video of rescuers poring over rubble a few days after a quake or some ginormous natural disaster or bombing, it’s a good bet they have Vicks on their masks.
