Man dies alone, amid books A house fire Tuesday night kills IRS clerk who loved literature and his comic books; the cause of the blaze is still undetermined
BY DENISE M. BONILLA STAFF WRITER
January 20, 2005
Amid the tiny icicles that clung yesterday to the charred kitchen cabinets and overturned furniture lay the blackened remnants of Anthony Podejko's passion.
Piled several haphazard feet high, with torn covers and burnt pages frozen together, the collection of books, magazines and comics divulged a life devoted to reading.
But the literary stacks that always comforted the 59-year-old Podejko became nothing more than fuel when a deadly fire raged through his Mastic Beach house Tuesday night.
Officials still don't know what caused the fire, which began in the kitchen of the one-story home about 9 p.m. Podejko, who was found in the bathroom, was unconscious and in cardiac arrest when he was taken to Brookhaven Memorial Hospital Medical Center in East Patchogue. He was pronounced dead just before 10 p.m. An autopsy is being performed, Suffolk Homicide Det. Sgt. Vincent Posillico said, but Podejko's injuries, including burns and signs of smoke inhalation, are consistent with a fire.
Podejko's brother Walter and sister-in-law Bernadette, who live next door to the Cypress Drive home, were asleep when the blaze started, and woke up to the sound of fire engines after a neighbor called 911.
"I said 'Oh my God, that's my brother's house,'" she said. "I saw his car and said, 'You gotta get him out of the house, he's in there somewhere!' They got him out and tried to revive him, but he was gone."
Anthony Podejko, whose nickname was Butch, grew up in the house, his family said, and graduated from William Floyd High School. He continued to live there by himself, working for about the past 30 years as a file clerk for the Internal Revenue Service in Holtsville.
Walter Podejko described his brother as a sweet loner who loved to immerse himself in reading. He was so fond of literature, Walter said, that he did not own a phone or television.
"The books were stacked two and a half feet deep on the floor," he said. "You could have opened up a bookstore with just what was in his house."
Now Walter and Bernadette are left to clean up the remains of Podejko's house and sort through the Superman comics and science fiction novels that he once adored.
"It just kills me," she said, putting her soot-covered hands to her face to wipe away the tears. "If only they had found him earlier."
In addition to his brother Walter, Podejko leaves behind a mother, two brothers and two sisters.

Pa, koliko se meni cini, on se nije ubio. I nigde se nije pokazalo da je imao suicidne tendencije. Ja, inace, zaista razumem ovog lika i oduvek sam zeleo da budem takva vrsta coveka. Mislim, onog koji nema ni tv i telefon, vec samo knjige i stripove, a ne mrtva vrsta coveka.

Ja sam vec na korak od toga da nemam TV (odnosno, ne palim ga), al' telefona cu se odreci tek kad dobijem kablovski net.
A mobilnog nikad!

I joss jedna, u Japanu:
Magazine Collection Crushes Owner On Feb 6th a Tokyo man who had amassed a collection of vintage magazines on the second floor of an apartment complex was knocked to ground level and buried when their arrangement was unsettled thus becoming a torent of dried ink and paper, collapsing the floor of the room. Rescuers dug through the massive pile of printed pages for 2 hours before finding him. He was seriously injured, sustaining full body bruises. The 75 year old resident of the 1st floor apartment was uninjured told police the ceiling just seemed to fall in. The Tokyo Fire Department who could only hear the man's voice deep beneath the mountain of magazines used a long probing stick with a miniature camera to find him. The bulk of the collection were old comic magazines such as Shonen Jump, Weekly Playboy and Sunday Mainichi dating back to the mid 1970's. The collection was estimated to be about 50 centimeters in height and about 30 meters in width.
