Florida Mail Carrier Found Dead in Canal in 2021, Family Says It Wasn’t Accidental

Loved ones of a Florida man who police say died in an accidental drowning are pushing for a further investigation.

According to CBS 12, on the night of March 11, 2021, Calvin Berry, a mail carrier for the United States Postal Service for over 30 years, went to his garage around midnight to “check something,” but never returned.

His wife, Althea Berry, reported him missing and said he took medication to help him sleep. A few days later, police received a call about his body being found in a canal behind his Port St. Lucie residence.

While his death was labeled an accidental drowning, his family believes that foul play was involved.

Loved ones said that the initial investigation by the Port St. Lucie Police Department was insufficient, ABC 25 reports. In response, police department leaders said they would conduct a new review of the case.

His twin sister, however, said a thorough investigation never happened.
