Upon arrival at the scene, officials pronounced Prudhomme dead at 4.55pm, local outlets report, citing Tempe police. 12News reports that Prudhomme’s cubicle was located on the third floor and away from the main aisle.

The employee who spoke to 12News added that multiple people complained of a foul odor but assumed it was due to plumbing problems.

Another employee told the outlet: “It’s really heartbreaking and I’m thinking, ‘What if I were just sitting there? No one would check on me?’” The employee went on to add: “To hear she’s been sitting at the desk like that would make me feel sick … and nobody did anything. That’s how she spent her last moments.”

There should be a service that people can sign up for that would have someone call, text, or email to check in on people with no family or friends. That way if something does happen to them, and they do not respond to repeated attempts at checking in, authorities can be notified sooner than 4 days later.

And I bet someone smarter than myself could figure out a way to have the service subsidized so it is not expensive for people to use; especially older folks who may be on a fixed income.

This is one reason why daily stand ups exist in the tech world. For bigger teams it could be split into groups.
