DENVER - Family members of a west Denver man who collapsed and died on his front porch said a mail carrier walked by the body to deliver the mail, but did nothing to help.
"I don't know how he sleeps at night," said Hedy Porch, the man's wife.
On Nov. 2, her husband, Dale Porch, was dropped off at home after working the graveyard shift for the Regional Transportation District, but he never made it inside.

"My brother-in-law walked up these steps, got to this step here and collapsed," said Kimberly Cordova, Dale Porch's sister-in law. She pointed to the mailbox just a few feet away.  "So, the mailman literally was right here, and he was right here collapsed on this step."

The grown son of Porch discovered his father about an hour afterward and called 911.  Efforts to resuscitate Porch were unsuccessful.

Dale Porch was only 46 years old. While waiting for an autopsy report, family members wonder if his death could have been prevented.

"When we found the body later around noon, he was still warm. Maybe if the mailman had done something, he would still be here," said Cordova.
