Six customers are in the post office when a 50-year-old employee collapses and dies. When an ambulance arrives, the paramedics in attendance conclude that he died of natural causes. The six witnesses all doubt this, each interpreting this sudden death from a personal point of view. One young man tells his psychiatrist he believes it was suicide; another witness accuses the dead man of drinking too much coffee; yet another is convinced he worked himself into the grave out of devotion to his family. Each story says way more about the teller than it does about the man who died.
