There's an investigation underway in Tempe after a Wells Fargo employee died while on the job. A new timeline released by police suggests her body was there for four days before being discovered.
"It's really heartbreaking and I'm thinking, 'What if I were just sitting there?'" a worker said. "No one would check on me?"
The body was found inside the Wells Fargo corporate office in Tempe. An associate who spoke with 12News anonymously said the situation is troubling.
"To hear she's been sitting at the desk like that would make me feel sick," the worker said. "And nobody did anything. That's how she spent her last moments."
Tempe police confirmed with 12News that on Aug. 16, 60-year-old Denise Prudhomme scanned into work at the building at 7 a.m. On Aug. 20, building security called authorities after finding an unresponsive worker. Officers arrived and confirmed that Prudhomme was dead.
Another employee who spoke with 12News anonymously said a colleague found Prudhomme dead at her desk in a cubicle while walking around the building.

Low. I waiting to see if his pals, Z and Pooty Pooh, are going to have a retirement party for Jo Jo. They’re going to miss him. He kept them in the big bucks.
I guess she really did work herself to death.
“dead while walking around the building. ?”
Not unusual to see, at many places of employment - or encountering when calling customer service.
“Also weird the cleaning crew didn’t notice.”
Been out of the workforce a long time? I remember when there were cleaning crews that emptied the trash and vacuumed nearly every day, then it became more infrequent until we were emptying our own trash to central trash pickups. Now where I work they never empty the trash, have to take it out to the dumpster ourselves. Vacuum is on a wall, maybe see a cleaner once a month.
No, unfortunately not weird.
RIP, dear lady.
I love that pose Joe is taking. Just like he’ll be taking 6 feet under.
Good catch. I thought this must be local TV journalism.
I checked.
Yep it is.
TV news. Where Junior college journalism drop outs go to work.
Indeed. I remember when The Far Side was a comic strip. Then one day I awoke inside of it.

For me it was a Dilbert Cartoon. Scott Adams could have found even greater inspirations from from my office.
Dock that Woman a day's pay for dying on the job.
“Denise, your numbers are 10% lower this week than they were last week, and I..... OH MY GOD SHE’S DEAD!!”
Not every cubicle gets cleaned every day.
I had offices where there were offices that were “off the main floor.” I could understand someone in their office for a few days with no one noticing. This is especially true if their doors are closed.
Although with modern time keeping software, I would have been notified early Monday morning that she hadn’t “swiped out” on Monday morning. That would have been addressed sometime Monday morning. But not right away.
I remember the day I took my newborn to my mom’s office to show him off.
Everyone was so nice and happy to see him.
My mom took me a side and told me that one of their
coworkers had died earlier at her desk.
She said she was so glad I came that day.
That it really helped everyone.
August 16 was a Friday. Maybe she died late in the afternoon after most people had left and no one was there on the weekend. But it is surprising that she wasn’t discovered on Monday the 19th.
There used to be a “Dilbert List of the Day” website where Adam’s would ask some workplace related question and there would be several hundred responses per day. I think he was looking for ideas for the strip but it made for some great reading.
😂
😱
Negligence at its worst. Big business discouraging community among its employees is commonplace, to the point that an employee doesnâÂÂt know or care about the coworker working next to them.
My coworkers knew my pattern within a couple of weeks after I joined the companyâ¦and I knew theirs.
Still the most productive worker in her office.
I was a government employee and one day I thought I might be dead. Then I realized I was just stationed in Fresno.
A WFH government worker might no be found for years.
