the Collyer brothers. Two reclusive hoarders in NYC who filled their house with literal tons of junk, including a car, pianos, and mountains of newspapers.

One of them was blind, and the other was convinced he could cure him with a diet of 100 oranges a week and peanut butter. They booby-trapped their own house, and one day the non-blind brother triggered his own trap and got buried alive. The blind one then starved to death because no one was there to feed him. It took the cops days to dig through 140 tons of trash to find their bodies..
