How a Hoarder's Home Was Cleaned Up After 40 Years

A California homeowner has hoarded for more than 40 years, with trash stacking up as high as the ceiling of the house. The owner, who does not want to be identified, moved into the two-bedroom condo in Lawndale, four decades ago. It's believed he didn't clean the place once in all that time. Neighbors have been complaining for years. The final straw came when the homeowner was overcome by fumes from the filth. He passed out on the floor and had to be carried away by paramedics.
