Woman Dies At Desk, But Nobody Notices

As Los Angeles County employee Rebecca Wells toiled on a risk analysis audit, she apparently died at her desk, but nobody noticed her body until the next day.

Co-workers described her as tireless. Always “working, working, working.”

I question their definition of work if laying dead at her desk looked like "work" to them. It makes you wonder how long she might have been dead before they noticed if she had not died on Friday. As it was no one noticed until the weekend. The really positive thing is that she is a union worker so her estate will be paid overtime for the extra day. That includes double time for Saturday. Those unions are always looking out for the tax payers!
