Damn Slobs

Andrea's husband became alarmed when he woke up one morning in 2000 and could not find his wife. Police arrived to find that the couple had filled nearly every inch of their home in Michigan. From floor to ceiling with stacks of clothing, dishes, boxes, newspapers, books and miscellaneous debris. After a ten-hour search, officers finally found Jessica buried under an enormous pile of trash, with a telephone in her hand. The husband was able to piece together what had probably happened: Jessica had a number of health problems, and was very likely trying to call for help when one of the mountains of garbage collapsed on her.
