A beloved Aspen mailman died suddenly while on the job Wednesday afternoon.
Charles Edward Cline IV, 53, of Basalt, was found unconscious outside an office at the Concept 600 building on Main Street a little after noon Wednesday, Aspen Assistant Police Chief Bill Linn said Thursday.
An unknown bystander was performing CPR on Cline when officers arrived, Linn said.
The officers continued CPR and used a portable defibrillator on Cline but he did not regain consciousness, so an ambulance transported him to Aspen Valley Hospital, he said.
The cause and the manner of Cline’s death remains unknown.
“Cline had no known history of medical issues,” said Pitkin County Coroner Steve Ayers.

after 53 years of the American fat and sugar diet…….those coronary arteries can clamp shut at any moment when you least expect it…………happened to James Gandolfini the actor who played Tony Saprano. plant- based diet without meat, chicken, pork, or fish is the way to go….washed down with red wine. you coronary arteries will thank you. over 50% of heart attack victims never make it to the emergency room and die each year.
I am sorry to hear of this family’s loss. I hope that this city comes together to help
carry them through this hardship RIP.
