## Summary

A postal worker in Mount Holly, New Jersey, called police after finding a note on a home’s door that read “9-1-1 Inside”. Officers found three elderly people dead inside. Their identities and cause of death have not been released, and autopsies are pending.

The worker, Don Clements, said the note was taped up with the same clear tape used to seal the mailbox, and believed he may have been the only person able to see it from his daily route. Neighbours described the residents as a private family who had lived in the area for decades; one sister had worked as a crossing guard and a brother at a department store. Prosecutors said there is no threat to the public.
