Miami, FL — A U.S. Postal Service employee died while trying to retrieve his cell phone, which had fallen into a storm drain on Tuesday, February 7, 2012. The fatal accident occurred just after midnight at the USPS’ Miami Processing and Distribution Center on Northwest 72nd Avenue, reported the Huffington Post.
According to police, the victim was walking across the parking lot when he apparently dropped his cell phone into the storm drain by accident. The man then fell into the drain through a manhole.
Some speculate that the man was trying to get his phone and drowned in doing so.
The identity of the USPS worker has not been released at this time.
The USPS released a statement regarding the death, as reported by the Huffington Post: “Postal employees are deeply saddened by the passing of their co-worker, who was a dedicated employee for more than 25 years…His family has been notified.”
