There was no answer. Malphrus reported the incident to his Postmaster who called police. They entered the house and found the customer had died. Later, the customer’s family left a note in the mailbox for Malphrus to find thanking him for his concern.

Clayton, NJ, Letter Carrier Joy Melita was on her route when she noticed a distraught boy walking toward her. The boy said he woke up in an empty school bus a few blocks away. She called 911 and stayed with the 5-year-old until police arrived. Police later determined the bus driver had dropped off students at a school, then parked the vehicle in a residential area and left it unattended, unaware the boy was sleeping on one of the seats.
