Cicero NY – The story is not for the claustrophobic at heart. A dwarfish Man clings to life today in relation to complications from falling into and lodging himself upside down inside of a US postal mailbox in rural Cicero for nearly two days.
37 year old Jonathan Pecor of Cicero NY was found early Monday morning by a mail carrier for the US Post Office while collecting the mail from a rural box that is only removed twice a week.
The 4’0 tall Man was found unconscious, suffering from hypothermia and dehydration, and was airlifted to nearby Mount Markham hospital where he is in critical but stable condition.
In an interview with CNN, Marcus Peters, the mailman who found a little person describes the rescue a detail:
I swear I thought it was an episode of Punk’d. I get out of my mail truck at 6 am, still dark mind you, and I hear I moan coming from the box. My first thought was a practical joke by a co-worker. I open up the mailbox to find this little fella upside down half naked with a fistful of Oreo cookies in his little paw. He looked at me, asked for some Kool-Aid and passed out. Dude I actually had some fruit Jammers Kool-Aid in the truck but he wouldn’t wake up.
That’s when Mr. Pecor extracted the man from the mailbox and called 911. His actions may have saved a man’s life. Medical staff now has Mr Pecor in stable condition. The Lampoon has recently discovered that the little fella had also sprained both of his wrists in the fall.
After multiple IVs, Pecor regained Consciousness and was able to give his account of what happened to the doctors:
I was just trying to mail some cookies to my sister in Little Rock. I had a hard time getting her package in the mailbox and my car keys fell in. I then fell in trying to get my keys. I had nothing to eat but her cookies. No Kool-Aid and no toilet. I screamed for hours on end and nobody heard me. And then I did the unthinkable. Oh god.
The US Postal Service issued an apology statement to the man involved, as well as a lifelong free stamps for his troubles, which they say came from a faulty door in the postal box which made escape impossible.
They also took full responsibility for the seven parcels and 15 letters in the box that were spoiled by the man’s feces and urine.
When asked if he was contemplating a lawsuit, Mr Pecor just said that he was happy to be alive with a full belly and a berry blast Kool-Aid at his side.
The site where the incident happened is now barren and the mailbox completely removed, with no official response yet from USPS on whether or not they intend on closing that site down for good.
