Three people found dead in New Jersey home after postal worker notices disturbing note saying ‘9-1-1 Inside’

Three elderly individuals were discovered deceased in a New Jersey residence on Friday, November 6, following the discovery of a disturbing note by a postal worker. The bodies were found in the Mount Holly suburb at a home on Winding Way, according to the Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office. Police were alerted to the scene by a postal worker who had spotted the note attached to the front door.

The message, heavily taped, read “9-1-1 Inside,” accompanied by drawings of two faces with "X" eyes, as reported by the New York Post. Burlington County Prosecutor LaChia L. Bradshaw and Mount Holly Township Police Chief Clifford Spencer made the announcement, stating that no threat to the public was present. The identities of the victims were withheld until next of kin were notified, and autopsies were scheduled for the weekend by the Burlington County Medical Examiner’s Office.

The postal worker, Dom Clements, recounted finding the note while delivering mail at the house, expressing his shock at the discovery. He noted that only the mail carrier typically visited the residence, making the note's placement unusual. Police Chief Spencer reassured the community, emphasizing the department's commitment to public safety.

An ongoing investigation by the Prosecutor’s Office and the Mount Holly Township Police Department is underway to determine the cause of death.
