An eccentric loner in Britain hoarded so much trash he had to burrow through it to get around his home — then got lost in the maze of tunnels Friday and died of thirst.

Human mole Gordon Stewart, 74, had filled his rooms up to the ceiling with 10 years’ worth of garbage and clutter, making it impossible to walk around.

The compulsive hoarder is believed to have become disorientated inside the walls of rotting trash and unable to find a way out — then collapsed with dehydration.

Neighbors raised the alarm after failing to see him leave his house in Broughton, Bucks, for several days.

When cops arrived, the stench from the garbage was so foul they brought in a police diving team equipped with breathing apparatus.

It is believed they crawled around the tunnel network until they uncovered Stewart’s body.

A neighbor revealed: “A police officer said the interior was piled up with huge mounds of rotting rubbish and there was an elaborate network of tunnels to move around."

“They think Stewart may have got lost and died from dehydration.”

THE TRUE STORY

An eccentric ugly guy in Pennsylvania hoarded so many cigars he had to burrow through it to get around his home — then got lost in the maze of tunnels Friday and died of thirst.

Human mole Ram, 99, had filled his rooms up to the ceiling with 50 years’ worth of cigars, making it impossible to walk around.

The compulsive cigar smoker is believed to have become disorientated inside the walls of cigars and cigar boxes and unable to find a way out — then collapsed with dehydration.

Neighbors raised the alarm after failing to see any cigar smoke rising from his house for several days.

When cops arrived, the stench from the cigars was so foul they brought in a police diving team equipped with breathing apparatus.

It is believed they crawled around the tunnel network until they uncovered Ram’s body.

A neighbor revealed: “A police officer said the interior was piled up with huge mounds of rotting cigars and there was an elaborate network of tunnels to move around."

“They think Ram may have got lost and died from dehydration.”

ROFLMAO No way ..........I smoke the damn cigars not pray over them & look at them.

I missed this earlier. I could actually see this happening to me. As part of my OCD, I tend to be a packrat and not throw things out.

Must be hereditary. Some of the stuff we found in my grandmother's condo after she passed away defied belief. For example, she had a bottle of actual Shineola (white) with the original $.10 Woolworth's pricetag still on it. Even I would start to think after maybe 30, 40 years I haven't used it all by now, it's time to toss it out.

THE TRUE STORY

An eccentric ugly guy in Pennsylvania hoarded so many bands, boxes, French vodka bottles and Avon beer steins that he had to burrow through it to get around his home — then got lost in the maze of tunnels Friday and died of thirst.

Human mole Ram, 122, had filled his rooms up to the ceiling with 90 years’ worth of cigars bands, empty boxes, Avon beer steins, French vodka bottles and dust, making it impossible to walk around.

The compulsive cigar smoker and grape flavored vodka drinker is believed to have become disorientated inside the walls of empty rasberry vodka bottles and cigar boxes and unable to find a way out — then collapsed with dehydration after gargling peach vodka.

Neighbors raised the alarm after failing to see any cigar smoke rising from his house for several days.

When cops arrived, the stench from the cigars and vodka was so foul they brought in a BATF team equipped with shakers, limes and lots of ice.

It is believed they crawled around the tunnel network until they uncovered Ram’s body, but weren't really sure because they were drunk too.

A neighbor revealed: “A police officer said the interior was piled up with huge mounds of old bands and broken beer steins and that there was an elaborate network of tunnels to move around."

“They think Ram may have got lost and died from dehydration.”

Be careful in there, Ram . . .

Scarey, I know a man that has boxes of cigars lining his hallways and walls in several rooms.

I really need to visit him...soon.

Better, some the boxes are for YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!

That would be nice. From what I understand ...some have been there for many years. I gotta get him set up with a humidor. Even if it is a whole room set up.
