Wells Fargo toldUSA Todaythat the company spoke to Prudhomme’s family before addressing employees about her death, noting that Prudhomme had been sat in a “very underpopulated area” of the office.

The Maricopa County Medical Examiner’s Office will now determine a cause of death, per Arizona’s Family.

According to NBC affiliateKPNX, an unnamed employee said that several people had said they smelled a “foul odor,” but “passed it off as faulty plumbing.”

The publication added that the building has 24/7 security, but most employees at the Tempe location work remotely.
