4 days after Arizona bank worker died, her body discovered in work cubicle

Aug. 29 (UPI) -- Arizona bank employee Denise Prudhomme, 60, died at work and her body wasn't discovered in her work cubicle until four days later.

Police in Tempe, Ariz., said Thursday there was no evidence of foul play.

Police said she scanned into work for her Wells Fargo job on Aug.16. Security at the building found her dead Aug. 20.

Wells Fargo said in a statement, "We are deeply saddened by the tragic loss of our colleague at our Tempe office. Our thoughts and prayers are with their family and loved ones during this difficult time. Counselors, through our Employee Assistance Consulting service, are available to support our employees. We are fully cooperating with the Tempe Police Department in their investigation and will direct all further questions to them."

The investigation into circumstances of her death is ongoing, but it is not yet clear how she could have gone unnoticed for days.

NBC News reported that an anonymous Wells Fargo employee told KPNX that a co-worker found Prudhomme dead at her desk while walking around the building.

Several workers in the building had smelled a foul odor but thought it was bad plumbing.

A worker quoted anonymously told Tempe's 12 News, " It's really heartbreaking and I'm thinking, 'What if I were just sitting there? No one would check on me?"

Wells Fargo workers said the building has around-the-clock security and Prudhomme should have been found sooner.

"That's the scary part," a Wells Fargo employee told 12 News That's the uneasy part. It's negligence in some part."
