When Hoarding Goes Way Too Far: The Story Of Trust Fund Hoarder Kevin McCrary

The Apartment Became A Hazard And McCrary Was Injured By Trapped Items

McCrary’s apartment became a dubious hazard with every room, including the kitchen and the bathroom, filled to the brim. His cats would trapeze atop piles of stuff, and there was always the looming hazard that things would collapse and injure McCrary. At one point, he dislocated his knee after a row of items collapsed on top of him and trapped him underneath. He was unable to enter through the door. Had there been a fire, he’d never have escaped.

Sadly, the tragic level his hoarding escalated to a point where it no longer affected solely his own life (and the life of his cats). It affected his neighbors – and they were furious.
