Woman with locked-in syndrome found dead sitting upright and fused to parents' couch

A woman who suffered from locked-in syndrome was found dead fused to her parents' living room couch.

Lacey Ellen Fletcher was discovered sitting upright and fused to a couch at the family home in Slaughter, Louisiana on January 3 after her parents called 911 to say their daughter wasn’t breathing.

It’s believed that the 36-year-old had been dead for up to two days before she was found, following what is believed to have been at least a decade of neglect.
