“An employee who spoke with KPNX said Prudhomme’s cubicle was on the third floor and away from the main aisle.

The employee, who did not want to be named, said several people had smelled a foul odor but passed it off as faulty plumbing.”

It's the smell of corporate America.

I have never felt more alone thinking of this for her. Relates too close to home, for me anyway.

I have smelled both sewage and decomposition, and my sense of smell isn't the best but God damn how do you confuse one for the other? They smell nothing alike!

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago (2 children)

No, nothing alike, but the employee likely shit and piss themselves and that was the smell. Not sure a corpse is decomposing much in only 4 days, especially in a climate controlled office.

Sorry I'm late to the party, but you definitely smell a corpse after 4 days. I used to bag and tag bodies for a while. Just breathe through your mouth.

In 4 days there shouldn't beuch decomposing, but since there was a smell I don't think it was air cooled.

I also can agree with the other commentor. Decomposing and bad plumbing are a hell of a difference. I have no fucking clue how you can mismatch those two, but I guess the employees havent smelled decomposing before.

or just don't care, it's a large company deciding if someone's dead is probably someone else's job.
