Dead taxman is sorely missed

A Finnish taxman dropped dead at his desk - and nobody noticed for two days.

The newspaper Ilta-Sanomat reported that none of the 30 people who were in the same department as the 60-year-old auditor realised that he was not just silently poring over papers in the Helsinki office.

Anita Wickstroem, the director, said: "He was working alone and his friends and colleagues who used to have lunch or coffee with him were busy."

strange that

as you would have thought that someone would have given him a prod
or something
if they assumed he was asleep

at home time or break or something

Sad news for his Family but I'm sure they won't be reading this, so going to take the risk and post my first thought on seeing this article.

I think the only time people do love the tax man is when they get a rebate!! ;)

Must admit it is a very sad state of affairs that colleagues and family were unaware that he had died at work.

It's a sad reflection on the high pressure conditions that some people have to work under.

I'm sure many forum members would join me in sending condolences to his family through this forum.
