Postal Worker Found Dead in His Brooklyn Home

2009_01_dheights.jpg A 56-year-old post worker was found stabbed to death in the basement of the Bath Beach home he shared with his brother. Donald Paccione found yesterday morning by his brother and 1010 WINS reports, "There were no signs of forced entry." Neighbors tell NY1 that Paccione was well-liked, "He was a man who kept to himself, worked religiously with the post office, not retired yet, 56 years of age, still working, loving every minute. It's the truth." The attic apartment was rented to a tenant and his elderly mother, the Daily News reports, adding, "Detectives were interviewing the tenant, whom neighbors said had a drug problem and had robbed Donald Paccione once before. But Paccione forgave the man and never pressed charges, neighbors said."

A drug addict in the attic who had previously robbed you? Well, there's your problem.

Sorry to blame the victim but, C'MON!

Sad how when you try to be nice you still end up paying the price.
