Collapsed into chair
Slumped describes a posture of collapse or defeat—shoulders dropped, body sagging.
A person slumps in a chair from exhaustion or dejection: He sat slumped over his desk.
Markets or sales that have slumped have fallen sharply.
A slumped figure suggests someone overcome by fatigue, disappointment, or despair.
