Some fates are worse than death. One such fate—physically melting into a couch, with flesh fusing to the fabric—was absolutely agonizing and tragically endured by a 36-year-old woman named Lacey Fletcher. Lacey faced various challenges that made her entirely dependent upon her parents, Sheila and Clay. However, instead of providing the necessary medical and psychological support that Lacey needed, her parents allowed her to slowly (and painfully) die before their very eyes. Immobible, nonverbal, and unable to call for help, Lacey was at the mercy of two merciless people who allowed maggots to feed off her dying flesh while she was still alive. This case probes deep into the darkest aspects of human nature, where those expected to protect and nurture by virtue of blood and love instead became instruments of outrageous suffering.
