Denver mail carrier steps around man who died - GoFuckYourself.com

DENVER (AP) ? The U.S. Postal Service is defending a mail carrier who stepped around a Denver man who collapsed and died near his front door.

Dale Porch was dropped off at home last week after working the night shift for the Regional Transportation District but never made it inside. Family members say hours later, a mail carrier walked by the body to deliver the mail but did nothing to help.

KMGH-TV (http://tinyurl.com/a3rxwne ) reports the carrier has been temporarily taken off the route. The family says the carrier told them he thought the body was a mannequin, a decoration left over from Halloween.

A Postal Service spokesman called it an unfortunate situation that probably would not have happened any other time of the year.

An autopsy report is pending.

He's a mailman, not a paramedic

Dude was doing his job. You can't investigate every single thing at every house you deliver to. I understand the families butt-hurt over the death... but come on now.

Unless the postman can magically revive dead bodies what help could he have done?

I was thinking the same thing.

For all the mailman knew he was sleeping and if he touched him and woke him up he either risked getting the snot beat out of him, or a lawsuit for assaulting him. I would think I would would have done something, but not everyone would.

Agreed. And if he tried to help him, no telling what kind of law suit may have been filed against him and the USPS.

You can't get sued for calling 911, and if you leave after you call, they can't detain you all day. Dude is kinda dumb, but obviously he isn't in any way responsible for the death.

if you thought it was someone who was just passed out drunk would you call 911? I'd probably say something, try to wake him up but i wouldn't recommend people doing that.

ignoring it completely is kind of weak though, mail man or not.

What if he walked by 2-3 other mannequins on his route and didn't even notice?

AND get fired from his job for delivering the mail late.
