I was chatting to somebody last week about the person in the US who died at their desk, unnoticed for over four days. The instinctive and understandable response was to ask if the story is apocryphal. Sadly, not. Sixty-year-old Denise Prudhomme had clocked into work at the Arizona office of Wells Fargo at 7 am on Friday, August the 16th. Her death some time that day went unnoticed until the following Tuesday afternoon, when a colleague discovered her body slumped over her desk in a cubicle.
