Five Days at your desk

Lee Hadden writes:
\”A 30 year veteran proofreader for a publisher was known for his
dedication to work. He came in first each morning, and stayed late each
night. Sadly, George Turklebaum died at his desk at a New York publisher,
and it was five days before anyone noticed that he was dead in his cubicle.
It was the cleaning staff who first noticed he hadn\’t moved, and not his
co-workers of many years.

The Guardian in England has picked up the story.

Certainly, this lonely death could never happen to dedicated
librarians. Could it?
