The Labyrinth

Y'see, here's what I don't get. The headline is "Hoarder Dies After Becoming Lost in Maze of His Own Trash." I understand that. Happens all the time!

But then there's this tidbit from the story itself: "Neighbors raised the alarm after failing to see him leave his house in Broughton, Bucks, for several days."

Here's my problem. If a guy lives in a house filled with floor-to-ceiling piles of rotting garbage, why was anyone puzzled when he failed to set foot outdoors? I can't imagine most trash-dwelling recluses spend a lot of time out and about. Just wondrin'.
