Worker found dead in cubicle
A Los Angeles County worker died in her cubicle on Friday, but her body wasn’t discovered until Saturday afternoon. Rebecca Wells, 51, was found slumped over her desk in the county Department of Internal Services in Downey by a security guard. The exact time of death is not clear, but detectives say that, at worst, Wells had been dead for a day before her body was discovered. Wells, a USC graduate, was a longtime compliance auditor, and had recently become a grandmother, according to co-workers. Investigators have not determined the official cause of death, but they say foul play is not suspected.
