Dead by his own stuff

He had so much stuff he had to construct tunnels to get around his house.  Then he lost his way.

Man died in network of tunnels he made through house of rubbish.

Investigators believe Gordon Stewart, 74, died as a result of dehydration, after becoming unable to find his way out of the mass of carrier bags, boxes, old furniture and other junk.
