Yeah. Saw a thread over on reddit a few days ago about someone's corn snake getting into the mechanics of their office chair and getting crushed. Missing, until the inevitable smelly results.

Absolutely tragic, its one of the worst ways to lose a pet.

I actually had a similar thing happen a while back!!
My juvenile corn was hanging out with me and worked his way into the mechanics of my computer chair, jus far enough that I wasn't able to pull him out. He was probably only 3 inches in or so, but was able to find something to hold onto and I wasn't risking pulling him. So I just let him do his thing, hoping he would come out. Nope! I tried to lure him out with food. No dice! After pulling the legs off the chair I wrapped it in bedsheets in case he came out over night. Still nothing! I ended up VERY carefully and meticulously pulling the chair apart and destroying the chair. Once I was able to get to the snake, he just looked at me as if to say "what!? I was comfortable and just chilling. Can you put the chair back together please?"

Luckily it worked out for the snake, the chair however ended up destroyed in dozens of pieces.
