Neither snow nor rain ... nor a lifeless body? A family in Denver is outraged after they say their mailman walked past a body to deliver the mail without stopping to help, reports ABC 7 News. Dale Porch was returning from a late-night shift last week when he collapsed on the stairs leading to his home. At some point, the family says, the mailman made a delivery, so he must have walked right past the body.

His job is to deliver mail. Reporting dead bodies is not one of his job duties. Check with union steward.

Great job . Its refreshing to see a person so dedicated and focused on his job that he over looks minor set backs.Thank goodness for government supported post office and look how bright health care will be when we get equally dedicated workers

The body did not have any postage attached it, so therefore, he could not pick it up...

His explanation of thinking it was part of a leftover Halloween decoration/scene could make sense depending on what else was in the yard. Some people really get carried away with that graveyard stuff.

True. I think something like this happened last year, too, with a woman, but not a postal worker that saw her.

I'm sure the postal worker is sick over this.
