Aside from her own department and manager's not checking-in on their employees or, even noticing who's in their office/cubicle/space or not, this is on security.
She checked-in but, didn't check-out...end of the day that should've been a flag. That should've been a project to hunt-down for the security manager/director in the morning and see if a badge is working correctly. But a second day goes by, then a third, at what point does the security system start ringing alarms and chimes that the building personnel-log isn't balancing...day-4?

Kind of like the Hotel California - she checked out but didn't leave.

Typically cleaning people are in the buildings like that evenings and weekends. No one noticed a lady lying across her desk until the following work day???

I considered that a distinct possibility for me. I was working a four day holiday weekend. Maybe it was Thanksgiving. Place was deserted and I suddenly had chest pains and couldn't breathe. I was thinking people would come in on Monday and find me dead. I called my wife to say goodbye. She went through some checklist to make sure it wasn't a heart attack. She said, how about I called our doctor to see if she could see me.
I obviously made it through but it started a protracted months long episode of figuring out what I had.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Scanned in to work on 8/16 Friday morning and died sometime later. Wasn't found until Tuesday morning. Even with the weekend taken into account, that's unacceptable. Monday wasn't a holiday. Even when she decomposed enough to emit the foul odor, they blew it off as "faulty plumbing".
Moral of the story, make sure your job duty requires frequent interactions with your colleagues.
