Four Day Old Dead Body
The headline "Bank Employee Passes Away" is sad but there's a lot more to this story. From Tempe, Arizona comes the story of a Wells Fargo bank employee who passed away. Coworkers said that they noticed an unusual smell in the building but they chalked it up to past issues with the plumbing. Upon further investigation, the odor was not coming from the plumbing. It was coming from the cubicle of an employee who passed away at her desk. The shocking thing is that the woman may have been deceased for up to four days. Fellow employees say they are shocked that no one checked on her and that no one noticed. Authorities say that there was no foul play.
