A 51-year-old woman, Rebecca Wells, who worked in the risk management division of the LA County Department of Internal Services, died while working in her cubicle on Friday. Her body was not discovered until the next afternoon, when a security guard found her slumped over at her desk.

The last time a co-worker saw her alive was Friday morning, at 9AM.

"She was always working," said a co-worker.

County coroners are not yet able to say how she died (though no one believes it was foul play.)

“Well, they will dock her pay for the last,unproductive, day, I?m guessing.... “

I’m guessing they’ll make her use sick leave.

Heck no! The Union will demand that she gets overtime. After all, she didn't clock out!

that’s pretty sad. i wonder if her work area was off the beaten path. we have a few cubes here that are isolated and you wouldn’t need to ever walk by them most of the time. i’m gonna go check them now, actually.

When I go to the post office, which is not very often thank god, I see people working like the were a corpse too.

You could certainly die in line... it moves so slow.

But did she get the memo about the new cover sheet for the TPS reports ?

When Sir Peregrine Henniker-Heaton went missing from his home on 5 October 1971, there was cause for special concern: Henniker-Heaton had served as M. Other sensitive assignments included the Middle East, where he served as a member of the Anglo-Arab Association. Scotland Yard looked high and low, but in vain. There were reports of sitings in New York and Paris.

Sir Peregrine Henniker-Heaton, 3rd Bt.

Then on Sunday 23 June 1974, his body was found by his son Yvo in a locked lumber room in the family home in Ealing. Yvo opened the room with a key he found in a desk in the hall and entered the room to fetch a cabinet for some gramophone records. When I opened the door, the room seemed the same as when I had last seen it. A suit of clothes was on the bed. It was only when I went into the room and turned around to face the bed that I realized it was my father.

No one noticed her demise at quitting time on a Friday night. Since a security guard found her on the next day, it almost sounds like she had no immediate family or friends to miss her right away, either.

Hope someone is feeding her pet(s).

R.I.P., lady.

Our government thinks it can fix all the problems in the budget... yet doesn’t even notice a dead woman in their own office? Way to go, California.
