GREENWOOD COUNTY, S.C. - A severely overweight man in South Carolina has died after he refused to leave his recliner for eight months.

Greenwood County Investigators say Tillmon Webb was 33 years old and weighed about 800 pounds when he died Friday, Nov. 20.

Webb tore an ACL in March, but he could not afford medical treatment to fix his knee. Webb spent the last eight months in his recliner.

The former pastor said his faith would heal his leg. He posted sermons online and sent messages of faith through his cell phone.

Webb's wife, Ada, tried to keep her husband clean, but says her husband told her not to call for help.

Ada Webb said that her husband was in so much pain on Friday that she decided to call an ambulance.

Authorities said Tillmon Webb was covered in sores and was stuck to the chair. They had to saw the chair apart and cut a whole through the door to get Webb out of the house.

He died later at the hospital.

Greenwood County deputies said that Ada Webb will not face charges because they determined she had no malicious intent to neglect her husband.

whoops didn't see it.... though I did scan the Atheist News group postings for it.
Very sad. He obviously needed help. The only one who could help him was just a deluded as he was.
