BATON ROUGE – The body of a janitorial worker was found in a supply closet of a building on the ExxonMobil refinery property Monday. 

According to EMS, the body was found in a building in the 4000 block of Scenic Highway around 8 a.m. An Exxon employee told WBRZ News 2 that the body was that of a female janitorial worker and had been in a supply closet since Friday.  The East Baton Rouge Parish Coroner's Office confirmed all but the time of death pending a further review.

"We can confirm that a deceased individual was discovered [Monday] morning in a building located in the ExxonMobil Baton Rouge Refinery," the oil company said in a statement.
