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 May, a Wells Fargo employee was found dead in a parking lot near a branch in California. In June, a Wells Fargo employee was found dead in a branch in Texas.
The deaths have raised concerns about the safety of Wells Fargo employees. The company has said it is committed to the safety of its employees and is taking steps to improve security at its branches.
However, some employees have said they do not feel safe working at Wells Fargo. A survey conducted by the union representing Wells Fargo employees found that 60% of employees said they did not feel safe at work.
The union has called on Wells Fargo to take more steps to improve security at its branches, including hiring more security guards and installing security cameras.
Wells Fargo has said it is working to address the concerns of its employees and is committed to making its branches safer.
