Dead woman sat at her desk for a day - how sad is that?


A Los Angeles woman who died at her desk in a busy open-plan office went more than a day before being discovered.

Rebecca Wells collapsed and died sometime on Friday at her office cubicle in the Los Angeles County Department of Internal Services, TV station KTLA reported.

Ms Wells was not found until around 1pm on Saturday (local time), when a security guard noticed her slumped over in her chair.

According to police, the last time a fellow employee saw her alive was around 9am on Friday.

Ms Wells, an auditor in her department's risk management division, had reportedly become a grandmother the previous week.

The cause of death is not yet known but police do not suspect foul play.

A frozen man was found sitting inside his car last month. He had been dead for three days. Many people passed by thinking he was asleep.

A dog got loose some time in the night a few weeks ago and we didn't know about it until the next morning.

We looked all over for him, but we couldn't find him anywhere.

Today we found him. Being away from any kind of shelter from the wind, snow, and cold, he had frozen to death. We didn't find him because his fur was mostly white and he was covered by several inches of snow. The only reason we found him today was because the snow had melted.

Death is loneliness. Loneliness is death.

The sad thing about the lady who died in her cubicle, I can see how that'd be plausible. It just comes to show you how our day-to-day lives become such a routine. I'm not even saying it's bad that no one noticed...it's just that you do the same thing every. single. day. and it's like you're trapped in yourself.

This world needs more love. :
