Greenwood County, S.C. -- A Greenwood County man who suffered a knee injury last spring sat in a Lazy Boy recliner for eight months. He didn't budge; not even to go to the bathroom. Now he's dead and his wife said he refused treatment in an effort to go to Heaven.

Greenwood deputies say 33-year-old Danny Webb weighed about 800 pounds when they found him Wednesday. Rescue crews say he was stuck in the chair and they had to use a saw to take the recliner apart. 

Deputies say Webb had sores on his body and a "very bad odor." He died shortly after they freed him from the chair.

Webb's wife, Ada, says he didn't want help because he was ready to go to heaven and see Jesus.
