A Wells Fargo employee at a corporate office in Arizona clocked in for what would be her last shift on a Friday morning. Her body was found four days later at her desk, where she had died sometime over the weekend, according to the Tempe Police Department.

 

Denise Prudhomme, 60, worked at a Wells Fargo branch in Tempe and scanned her card to enter the building at 7 a.m. on August 16. There were no further scans of her either entering or leaving the building, the police confirmed in a statement.

 

On August 20, the on-site security staff reported finding an employee possibly deceased in a cubicle on the building’s third floor, authorities said. Prudhomme was pronounced dead at 4:55 p.m., according to Tempe police.

 

In a statement, Wells Fargo said, "We are deeply saddened by the loss of our colleague, Denise Prudhomme. Our thoughts are with her family and loved ones, and we are in contact with them to ensure they receive the necessary support during this difficult time."

 

Wells Fargo is reviewing its internal procedures related to employee safety and well-being following Prudhomme's death, Pulido added, noting that counselors were made available for affected employees.

 

Some employees reported a foul odor but assumed it was due to plumbing issues in the building, according to KPNX.

 

Prudhomme was found in a sparsely populated area of the building, according to Wells Fargo.

 

Addressing concerns from some employees about the delay in notifying them of Prudhomme's death, Wells Fargo clarified that her family had to be notified first.

 

Prudhomme's cause of death was still pending as of Friday, according to the Maricopa County Medical Examiner’s Office. Information reported by CNN.
