Evelyn Sakash, who won a Daytime Emmy Award in 2003 and was known to be a hoarder, was found by her sister and a cleaning crew lying on her kitchen floor buried under piles of garbage, police said


With us opening up again, I wonder how many people will be found dead in their homes since we have all been isolated over the last year.

1. 6 months ago?

Uggh.

2. How did piles of garbage get on top of her if she was dead or disabled on the floor six months

Earlier?

3. they believe a mound of trash fell on her

but...how does someone not smell the decomposition of the body

strange story

[Karadeniz]

5. I'd wondered if that happened. I just can't imagine any mound large enough to cover her under

Probably feet of junk.

[Skittles]

8. honestly

if she was my sibling and missing I would have hired people to at least go THROUGH that much trash

[Karadeniz]

10. I know hoarders don't like having the mess carted off, but I'd probably have thought that, since Sis

Isn't around, why not use her absence as an opportunity to sneak in and haul off the junk.

[Skittles]

11. alas, it is a very bad tactic to use on hoarders

hoarding is the result of a mental illness, and hauling off their junk tends to be seriously damaging to them....they MUST be involved in the cleanup efforts if there is any hope of long-lasting effects

it was too late for this poor gal

4. She was a hoarder

They searched the house multiple times but never found her body buried under the trash that crushed her. And being a hoarder house, I doubt that the smell of her decomposing body could be screened either.

6. Hoarders typically make piles, sometimes up to the ceiling, & those piles can topple...

It’s a very sad form of mental illness. Some people just have newspapers going back decades, or receipts and statements, or clothes from HSN they never wore.

But the saddest cases are the ones who can’t seem to throw away trash and literal garbage, or have lots of cats and no litter-boxes. And since garbage and cat-boxes stink after awhile, anything could be under there, including a human body.

[Karadeniz]

7. And people don't like going into their homes to check on them.

[Hekate]

9. Not without a Haz-mat suit, anyway

12. M-O-L-D

13. Very sad...
