That's a shame. He seemed like a nice man and a caring and competent therapist. May he Rest In Peace.

I always noticed how patient and kind he was with the Hoarders and from the comments on the funeral site, he was that way with everyone.

Looks like "Hoarders" is going international with the announcement of a planned Canadian licensed version of it:

Hmm interesting. I wonder if A&E will pick it up for the US. Though I'll probably have to see if my package gets that channel. 

I'm surprised they are going for a specific Canadian format; then again I don't think we've had any A&E Hoarders from up here. 

 

The TLC show had a few Canadian hoarders, including the traumatized principal in the Toronto area, the lead singer of a band from the 80's, and someone else from out in Alberta.

a few Canadian hoarders,

Didn't Dr.Zaz deal with a young-ish woman who had a smothering accumulation, there was a lot of snow on the ground, a cute dog (spaniel type), and one of my favorite talks of all time:

Dr. Z: Do you use this (two piece velveteen) jogging suit?

Hoarder: Oh, yes, I wear it when I go jogging. (smile)

Dr.Z: (nod, nod, wink, wink, saynomoresaynomore grin): Yeah, lots of jogging.

And they both laughed..

I think that was Beverly, who had the little dog living with her, and there was a really cute inspector in the episode.   She was on Hoarding Buried Alive, and died at 43 (I think 43, it was before age 50 at least)

 I remember the principal who quit after the threats, but I don't know which show he was on.  

I definitely remember the rock star, who really was famous, and I think died after the show aired.   His daughter had been kidnapped and presumed killed in Japan.  

Hoarding Buried Alive had three Canada episodes, but not Hoarders, unless I missed the location, which is entirely possible. 

I wonder if A&E will pick up the Canada episodes?

Yeah I'm pretty sure all 3 of those cases were Hoarding: Buried Alive cases. I suspect the production company had a team in Canada for one season and did them in a batch since they usually show up together in the repeats. 

I can't remember the details but I think there's a 4th Toronto ep as well, because it's usually paired with a story from Ohio I think. Rather forgettable otherwise.

 

But yeah, the A&E Hoarders I don't think has ever gone to Canada. Hawaii and Alaska, but never Canada. (Nor Puerto Rico now that I think of it; I'm surprised they haven't tried to recruit a story from there)
