What more could you ask from a employee. I bet he was a gas, at the Christmas party, a real party animal.

Hmmmm.... Seems to me that he would get rather ripe after a couple of days. You think someone would notice. Sounds like one of those "urban legends".

I agree Scaler. The rigor mortis would make it a bit obvious and the smell would get quite nasty.

Plus, I have seen many, many dead people in my line of work and after several hours there is no mistaking them for being alive, let alone several days.

Can't see what all the complaining's about, I work with at least 2 people who do nothing all week, and I bet they smell worse.

Hmmm, a medical book proof reader, now that's what I call an interesting job!! No wonder he's dead and no one noticed!!!!!

Snopes to the rescue again!!!

No kidding. That one was a grounder. Croaked for five days?? The fellow would be ripe as rotten fruit. sheesh.
