So, apparently the sores she developed underneath her over the years seeped into the sofa fabric, scabbed over, and become toughened solid. She bonded with the sofa. When finally someone rescued her from her insane enabling family, she could not be removed from the sofa, and instead she was taken away in it. And died, shortly thereafter. It's on Snopes somewhere, I don't have the stomach to read it again.

I knew I'd heard that somewhere before - they recreated her story in one of the early seasons of Nip/Tuck.
