EC2 Instance stuck in Shutting-down

Question

I have an instance that has been struck in Shutting-down for over 8 hours.

I have tried issuing `aws ec2 stop-instances --instance-ids i-0860e9accdd3873fc --force`

however its not helping

`{
    "StoppingInstances": [
        {
            "CurrentState": {
                "Code": 32,
                "Name": "shutting-down"
            },
            "InstanceId": "i-0860e9accdd3873fc",
            "PreviousState": {
                "Code": 32,
                "Name": "shutting-down"
            }
        }
    ]
}`

Part of the issue is that I have a disk that is attempting detachment form the instance but its struck  :

```
aws ec2 detach-volume --volume-id vol-0acdc490f819ee592 --instance-id i-0860e9accdd3873fc --device xvdd
```

`An error occurred (IncorrectInstanceState) when calling the DetachVolume operation: Unable to detach volume 'vol-0acdc490f819ee592' from instance 'i-0860e9accdd3873fc'. The instance is not in a state in which volumes can be detached.

Yes that's what aws ec2 stop-instances --instance-ids i-0860e9accdd3873fc --force does
