22. Death by hoarding
The Collyer brothers were known for being reclusive for most part of their lives leading up to their deaths. Langley was an extreme hoarder, piling tons of books, newspapers, and other objects inside their mansion, and setting up traps to keep his blind brother, Homer, from being visited by anyone. Homer died of a heart attack, while Langley was found crushed to his death by a heavy pile of newspapers he set up as one of the traps.
