A man called the police in Wichita, Kansas to report that something was wrong with his 35-year-old girlfriend. Apparently, she’d been in the bathroom for 2 years and he was worried.
When the police arrived, they found the girlfriend stuck to the toilet. It looked as if her skin had “grown around” the seat, Sheriff Bryan Whipple said. “She was not glued. She was not tied. She was just physically stuck by her body.” Police eventually pried the seat off the toilet with a crowbar and sent the woman—seat attached—to the hospital, where it was surgically removed from her body. |
