I watched something like it on MSNBC, and I also read it in a magazine (either Marie Claire or Cosmo Girl). The stories were SO sad. One lady was found dead on top of her piles and piles of stuff. Her kids were never allowed into the house after they moved out, it was years and years later. When they went in for the first time after they found out their mother had passed, they both broke down because they did not know her hoarding problem had gotten that bad. She didnt have running hot water for years (yet she managed to come to work everyday, nicely dressed as a nurse!), they found dead rats, feces and even a dead dog wrapped in a carpet in the garage. It was just horrible!
