Wells Fargo Employee Found Dead in Cubicle Four Days After Last Check-In — 'Nobody Did Anything'

A Wells Fargo bank employee in Arizona was found dead in her cubicle last week, four days after she last scanned into the office and after employees began smelling a foul odor, officials said.

Security at the Wells Fargo office in the 1100 block of West Washington Street recently called the Tempe Police Department after the body of 60-year-old Denise Prudhomme was found in her cubicle.

She had last checked into work on Aug. 16 at around 7 a.m. and never scanned out.

According to police, on Aug. 20, Prudhomme was found in a cubicle on the third floor of the building, away from main aisles, and there were no obvious signs of foul play. Prudhomme's cause of death has not yet been determined by the Maricopa County Medical Examiner.

An employee, speaking on condition of anonymity, told KPNX that employees had noticed a foul odor but believed it to be an issue with the plumbing. Prudhomme's body was found by another employee who walked by.

"It's really heartbreaking and I'm thinking, 'What if I were just sitting there?'" another worker, also anonymous, told KPNX.

“We are deeply saddened by the tragic loss of our colleague at our Tempe office," Wells Fargo said in a statement. "Our thoughts and prayers are with their family and loved ones during this difficult time.”
