On Friday, Aug. 16, Denise Prudhomme, 60, scanned into work at the Wells Fargo office in Tempe, Ariz. And she never scanned out.
Four days later, her body was discovered at her desk.
An employee who went unnamed told KPNX - NBC News that several people in the building complained of a "foul odor," but it was "passed it off as faulty plumbing."
On Friday, the Maricopa County Office of the Medical Examiner determined that she died of a "sudden cardiac death in the setting of myocardial fibrosis," People reports. Police had previously determined that there were no signs of foul play.
