The odd and tragic death was revealed by a custodian who said he was hired to discreetly remove the magazines to save the man's family from shame.
Investigators said it was unclear if the man had suffered a heart attack and fallen into the stacks of magazines which had then toppled onto him, or whether he had been crushed by the weight of the paper.
The custodian said that every space in the man's apartment was filled with pornographic magazines, piled on tables and on shelves.
