Retro Plyushkin or the joy of owning
One of the buildings in the center of New York March 21, 1947. In the police received a report of an unpleasant smell, distinguishable about residential building - perhaps a corpse?
On the spot it was found that to get inside is not so simple: there was no doorbell, doors closed, windows protected by bars, and on the other side of the thick wall stood a pile of newspapers and all different. Finally one of the windows managed to crack, and the police began to literally dig their way, throwing trash on the street. After five hours of searching the body was found Homer Collyer, who lived there with his brother, Langley. Found that the death was caused by hunger - Homer was paralyzed and totally dependent on his brother.
On April 8, ten feet from his brother's body was found and Langley - in a kind of tunnel from newspapers and junk that collapsed in an evil hour. Out of the house raked over 100 tons of garbage, including the retractable roof of the coach, chassis from an old Ford, 14 piano and two bodies.
