    A Wells Fargo employee came to work on a Friday morning and died at her desk – but her body wasn’t discovered until four days later, Arizona police officials said.

    Denise Prudhomme, 60, was found slumped over in her cubicle at the bank’s corporate office in Tempe on Tuesday, Aug. 20.

    She had used her ID to scan into the building on Aug. 16 at 7 a.m., according to cops.

    “To hear she’s been sitting at the desk like that would make me feel sick,” an employee at Wells Fargo told K12News, an NBC affiliate . “And nobody did anything. That’s how she spent her last moments.”

    The employee said several workers had complained of a foul odor when they came back to work after the weekend, but shrugged it off as bad plumbing, according to the outlet.

    Another employee said a colleague found Prudhomme dead at her desk in a cubicle while walking around the building, K12News reported

    Security guards then alerted the cops.

    The building has security guards who should have found Prudhomme earlier, workers fumed.

    “That’s the scary part. That’s the uneasy part,” one employee told K12News. “It’s negligence in some part.”

    Wells Fargo did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

    The company shared a statement with several other news outlets that they are “deeply saddened by the tragic loss of our colleague” and will be providing counselors to support office employees.

    The company said it is cooperating with the Tempe police in their investigation.
