One died and one is in the hospital because their own garbage was piled so high it fell down on them: Debris, cans, even animal crap.
This is quite unbelievable.

Here's another one: 300 Cats Found In Home
I wouldn't say that I'm fastidious or a clean or neat freak, but I like my house nice to be in. Why do people let their homes get this way?
Just weird.

Compulsive hoarding...of garbage?

The house will be boarded up, and the woman's relatives will be allowed to go through the contents, authorities said.
Allowed? Yeah, ’cause, you know, who doesn’t always secretly dream of working their way through a two-storey-houseful of garbage and shⅰt?

Am I missing something? Isn't this just a rather sad case of mental illness?

peeb, we don't do mental illness here. Just blame, scorn, and judgemental tunnel-vision due to insular lifestyle.

i remember hearing about a couple who got trapped in their house during the northridge quake in california because they had so much junk in their home that when it all fell, it trapped them inside.

The possibilities for existential symbolism are endless. They may have unwittingly created the perfect metaphor for mankind.
