Investigators determined that Prudhomme had scanned into the building Aug. 16 around 7 a.m. There were no scans from Prudhomme afterward.

Police have not revealed any signs of foul play. A medical examiner's office is working to determine Prudhomme's cause of death.

Wells Fargo told Fox News Digital it is "deeply saddened by the loss of our colleague, Denise Prudhomme."

"Our thoughts are with her family and loved ones, and we are in contact to ensure they are well-supported during this difficult time," the company said. "We are committed to the safety and wellness of our workforce and are reviewing our own internal procedures after this event. Counselors are available to support any employees impacted by this event."

Prudhomme's death is the latest in a string of recent deaths of Wells Fargo employees. In June, a Wells Fargo employee was found dead in a conference room at the company's headquarters in San Francisco. In May, a Wells Fargo employee was found dead in a car in the parking lot of a Wells Fargo branch in Texas.

Wells Fargo has faced scrutiny in recent years for its handling of customer accounts and for its sales practices. The company has paid billions of dollars in fines and settlements related to these issues.

In 2016, Wells Fargo agreed to pay $185 million to settle a class-action lawsuit alleging that the company opened millions of unauthorized customer accounts. In 2018, Wells Fargo agreed to pay $2.5 billion to settle a lawsuit with the Department of Justice over its sales practices.

The company has also faced criticism for its treatment of employees. In 2017, a group of Wells Fargo employees filed a lawsuit alleging that the company had discriminated against them based on their race and gender.

Wells Fargo has said that it is committed to addressing the issues that have been raised and to improving its culture. The company has said that it is taking steps to improve its compliance with regulations, to improve its customer service, and to create a more inclusive workplace.
