>A lonely Japanese man who amassed more than six tons of porn died when a huge pile of magazines fell on top of him.
>And even more tragically, the man's body was only discovered six months later when the landlord entered the flat to find out why the rent had not been paid.
>The man's lowly death was revealed by a member of the cleaning team, who said his company had been hired to remove the magazines discreetly in a way that would not be noticed by neighbours and the man's family to save them from the shame.
>He said that the dead man, a 50-year-old former carmaker identified only by the name Joji, had died buried underneath under a pile of the pornographic magazines.
>It was unclear if he had suffered a heart attack and fallen into the stacks of magazines which had then fallen on top of him, or whether he had been crushed by the mass of paper.
>But the cleaner said that if he was still conscious, the paper would probably have muffled his cries.
>Every space in the flat was filled with piles of magazines, which also stacked on tables and on shelves.
>There were also clippings from erotic magazines where it appeared the man had cut out his favourite articles, and thrown away the rest of the magazine.
>Despite his trimming, at the time of his death the collection weighed in at six metric tons (13,228 pounds).
