Collyer brothers

Homer Lusk Collyer (November 1881 - March 21, 1947) and Langley Collyer (October 1885 - March 1947) were two US brothers who became famous because of their reclusiveness, filth and compulsive hoarding. The brothers are often cited as a paradigmatic example of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder or OCD, as well as Disposophobia, or fear of throwing anything away.
