An Ohio mail man is being praised for saving an elderly man's life.

U.S. Postal Service carrier Jason Jones has been delivering mail to 91-year-old Jack Clair for years.

He became concerned when Clair didn't come out to greet him. When he saw the man's car hadn't moved in over a week, he called the police.

"They said they'll check into (it)," Jones recalled. "But when I came back the next day in the morning, I still didn't see any footprints from Mr. Clair and his car still hadn't moved. So I called the police again."

Police found Clair lying on the floor, unconscious and malnourished. Neighbors say he's alive today thanks to their mail man.

"You look out for others and you expect others to look out for you," Jones said.
