Can you help me identify this bug please?

Newark, DE

Hi, I found this bug in my home. Ive seen it 3 times on my bed in the past month and half or so. Once under my pillow, once on the bed but at the end of it where my feet would be, and once crawling around the sheet on the side of the bed.

I've also seen it around my kitchen sink once. It was dead from water I think, I took a picture of it on a paper towel, sorry my camera isnt very good I just used a phone one.

Anyone know what kind of bug it is? I was worried at first it was a bed bug but I don't have any bites on me or any reaction at least and I checked around the bed and havent seen any more or the signs of them that people write about online. But I have never had bed bugs before and my mattress and bed are actually new.

Also I am in Delaware.

About all that I can tell you from these images is that it is a small beetle of some kind. Most likely simply an accidental 'visitor'; worst case scenario would be a stored product pest, so just in case, check your dry stored food products (flour, pasta, dry cereals, dry pet food, dried fruits, nuts, etc.) for any sign of insect infestation.
