This was actually a true story but it was not one year it was actually 6 years. I am not sure honestly how she did not die of infection sooner but she was unable to get up to go the restroom due to her obesity. Please see link below for the full story. This actually happened not too far from me in Stuart Florida back in 2004. See the actual tv report below.
