Japanese man crushed to death by six-tonne porn collection

We’d say this is one advantage of streaming porn on the internet rather than owning x-rated magazines. A 50-year-old man appears to have died after his six ton collection of x-rated porn magazines allegedly fell on top of him.

Not only that, but his body wasn’t discovered until six months later when his landlord stopped by to inquire about why the man hadn’t paid his rent.

It’s not entirely clear if the man, known as Joji, had a heart attack and fell into the pile of magazines which then toppled over and buried him, or if they had somehow fallen onto him first and then crushed him to death, but cleaners who were hired to haul the magazines away say that every nook and cranny of his apartment was filled to the brim with piles of magazines. (Metro U.K. also reports that when the cleaners found him, his eyes had popped out.)

And, in what is possibly the saddest and most horrifying aspect of this story, the cleaners say that even if he had lived after the initial accident, nobody would have heard Joji’s cries for help because the magazine piles would have muffled his cries.
