I think chubbyemu covered a case where this was done and almost killed the person.

It does kill people. I had a friend die from not shitting for like 16 days and when they went to do the surgery to remove the compacted shit he died. Pretty ignoble way to go.

I'm sorry for your loss. Are there any memories you'd like to share other than the reason for their passing? I know if I lost someone I loved like that I'd want to share the important things about them, while I also understand wanting to share the potential dangers that people might not be considering from interrupting bodily functions.

Well, he was a former boss. He was very cool as far as bosses went. Tried to hit on one of my co-workers all the time and then I ended up marrying her and he was happy for us and came to the wedding. He also wrote my letter of recommendation to go into management for that company. He left that job several years later and went back to truck driving. I think the bad diet and wonky schedule led to the medical condition.

Thank you for sharing. It sounds like he was overall a decent man, who had a fair share of impact on your life. I'm sorry again for that loss.
