Comments: True. According to a report by KSL-TV News in Salt Lake City, the preceding photos were taken by Ogden, Utah property manager Ryan Froerer, who visited the rental townhouse at the request of a realtor and couldn't believe what he saw.
"Beer cans by the tens of thousands," said the report. "Mountains of cans burying the furniture. The water and heat were shut off, apparently on purpose by the tenant, who evidently drank Coors Light beer exclusively for the eight years he lived there."
"It's just unbelievable that a human being could live like that," Froerer was quoted as saying.
All told, there were approximately 70,000 beer cans on the premises. They were sold for $800 at a local recycling facility.
At last report the heavy-drinking tenant was off the sauce completely and "back on his feet" at a new job, and, presumably, a new home.
