Read this one to the wife. Made her feel good.

Why didn't the husband do something or didn't he realize they may have a problem?

I can relate to this. I've got three boys, and when they've been home all day (particularly after Christmas) toys are strewn and cluttering the house so bad that my head touches the ceiling while I'm crawling into the house.

Don't ever throw anything away. You might need it...........To hide your wife's body........

I worry about our son, his dorm room has dirty socks that migrate and pizza boxes with best if eaten dates in Roman Numerals and yet he has no problem finding the phone.

>>Rose's husband believes she fell while looking for the phone in the house this week and suffocated.

I hate when that happens.

I went to an estate auction like this once. They had already removed about 2 dumpsters worth of junk and the house was crammed top to bottom plus there were mountains of items outside as well.

Never thought about it being fatal, though!

I'm keeping this story. May post it on the doors of the kids' rooms.

As a professional organizer I have seen a lot of clutter but never heard of anyone dying under all the clutter.
We used to help people organize their homes now we prefer organizing offices specializing in medical offices.

I know of a home like this; however, they have clear paths through the clutter to the bath, kitchen, and between the sofa and television. A visitor to the home was sitting with the husband on the sofa when a rabbit ran by. The husband threw a boot at it determined to knock out his daughter's pet that had been loose in the home for nearly a year. He missed. Can you just imagine how many rabbit pellets had accumulated throughout that house in a year's time? Yuck.

Shelton Police Chief Terry Davenport said the home was so cluttered that police officers' heads touched the ceiling as they climbed over the clutter.

Think I will clean out my closets today.

I guess they should have bought a bigger house before it was too late.

This reminds me, I'd better reinforce some of those shoring beams or you'll be reading about me in the newspaper.

There are actually quite a number of these cases. When somebody gets killed by the junk falling over on them, it makes the news, but otherwise it's just the poor folks' relatives who wind up trying to sort out all the junk.

The Collyer brothers in New York are a well known example. My great-aunt Nell was a sufferer as well, but she didn't get squashed (my dad and other relatives moved her to an apartment in the Georgian Terrace Hotel and then cleaned out the house) so nobody knows about it but us.
