Aberystwyth man dies under tons of junk
23 November 2007
AN eccentric Aberystwyth man who stuffed his house with tons of rubbish over a period of 20 years was killed when part of his huge hoard fell on top of him.
John Jones (62) had to build a network of tunnels to get through the junk he had started accumulating after the death of his wife.
Police in the west Wales town cleared out four tons of junk through his bedroom window before they found his badly decomposed body.
The easiest way to carry John’s 20-stone body out of his house was through the window, which had been removed by fire crews.
John, who had mobility problems, also had tons of rubbish in a shed and ten garages that he rented.
An inquest was told that he probably died from asphyxiation but, because he was decomposed, the cause of death could not be decided with certainty.
The inquest verdict was “accidental death”.
