Collyer brothers

The Collyer brothers, Homer and Langley, were two American brothers who were compulsive hoarders. They had filled their house with over 100 tons of random objects. Langley constructed a maze of tunnels, complete with deadly booby traps, to protect his brother, who never left his room. Langley was killed by his own traps, and Homer starved to death.
