The Maricopa County Medical Examiner has concluded that Denise Prudhomme, the 60-year-old Wells Fargo employee found deceased at her Tempe workplace, died of natural causes. Prudhomme's body was discovered at her desk on August 20, after first clocking into work on August 16, a FOX 10 Phoenix report stated.
While initial details surrounding Prudhomme's death prompted questions, a recent report from the medical examiner cited "sudden cardiac death in the setting of myocardial fibrosis of unknown etiology," as the cause, making it clear that there were no indications of foul play or substances in her system. According to FOX 10 Phoenix, Prudhomme's manner of death was classified as natural.
Additional information from a 12News interview, reveals that her workstation was located on a floor less frequented by her colleagues, possibly contributing to the delayed discovery of her passing. Sources indicated that a scent believed to be a plumbing issue was related to the tragic event.
The medical examiner's findings also noted the absence of "significant natural disease," but Prudhomme's medical history did include chronic pain, shoulder pain, and cervicalgia. As per details from a 12News report, those close to Prudhomme described her as a private individual, with no known significant complaints or symptoms that may have pointed to an impending health crisis.
