Finns miss death in tax office
A tax office official in Finland who died at his desk was not found by his colleagues for two days.
The man in his 60s died last Tuesday while checking tax returns, but no-one realised he was dead until Thursday.
The head of personnel at the office in the Finnish capital, Helsinki, said the man's closest colleagues had been out at meetings when he died.
He said everyone at the tax office was feeling dreadful - and procedures would have to be reviewed.
