A Wells Fargo employee in Arizona was reportedly found dead in her cubicle four days after she clocked into work.
On Friday, Aug. 16 at around 7 a.m. local time, Denise Prudhomme, 60, arrived at the company’s corporate office near Priest Drive and Washington Street in Tempe, per multiple outlets including NBC News and Fox News.
She was found dead at 4:55 p.m. four days later on Tuesday, Aug. 20, Tempe Police Department said, according to NBC News.
Per USA Today, Prudhomme’s body was discovered at a third-floor desk in the office.
Police had responded to the location after receiving reports about a “subject down,” according to Arizona’s Family. The outlet stated authorities said there were no obvious signs of foul play.
Tempe Police Department and Wells Fargo didn’t immediately respond after being contacted.
Wells Fargo said in a statement to Fox News Digital that the company was “deeply saddened by the loss of our colleague, Denise Prudhomme.”
“Our thoughts are with her family and loved ones, and we are in contact to ensure they are well-supported during this difficult time,” the statement added, per the outlet.
“We are committed to the safety and wellness of our workforce and are reviewing our own internal procedures after this event. Counselors are available to support any employees impacted by this event,” the company concluded.
Wells Fargo told USA Today that the company spoke to Prudhomme’s family before addressing employees about her death, adding that Prudhomme had been sat in a “very underpopulated area” of the office.
The Maricopa County Medical Examiner’s Office will now determine a cause of death, per Arizona’s Family.
According to NBC affiliate KPNX, an unnamed employee said that several people had said they smelled a “foul odor,” but “passed it off as faulty plumbing.”
The publication added that the building has 24/7 security, but most employees at the Tempe location work remotely.
