This is so sad... and so gross [View all]

Emmy winner found dead, buried in debris inside home

https://www.msn.com/en-us/entertainment/news/emmy-winner-found-dead-buried-in-debris-inside-home/ar-BB1fdksQ?ocid=U483DHP

According to reports, Evelyn's sister, Ellen Brown, had been maintaining the messy apartment while the search was on for the talented designer, who'd previously worked on "Taxi," "Orange is the New Black," "Billions" and more. Eventually, Ellen hired a cleaning crew to help her tidy up the place, which the New York Daily News described as "trash-strewn."

It was there, under "an avalanche of garbage," that the 66-year-old was found face up, the Daily News said.

"This is just devastating," Ellen said. "She had a full life. She was so extraordinarily talented. She was a brilliant mind … I don't want my sister to be remembered like that, like the way she was found."

Pictures from the home show that Evelyn was a serous hoarder, as trash and filth overflowed from the home. Multiple media outlets reported a stench that wafted through the air.
