Man dies after falling into vat of chocolate
By The Associated Press
CAMDEN, N.J. (AP) — Authorities say a man died after falling into a vat of melted chocolate in a New Jersey processing plant.
A spokesman for the Camden County prosecutor’s office says the 29-year-old temporary worker at the Cocoa Services Inc. plant fell after a blade used to mix raw chocolate hit him. His name has not been released.
The accident happened Wednesday morning as the worker was loading chocolate into the vat where it’s melted and mixed before being shipped elsewhere to be made into candy.
Prosecutor’s spokesman Jason Laughlin says a co-worker tried to shut off the machine and two others tried to pull the man out of the 8-foot-deep vat.
There's a lot of good and bad associated with this story. Of course the overwhelming bad is that the dude died but if you've got to go isn't it to go in a vat of chocolate. But on the other hand one of the worst deaths I can imagine is drowning. I freak out when my brother holds my head under the water. But on the good side you can pig out on your way out because who needs to worry about counting calories when you're about to die. Overall I'd say Chocolate Death is a mixed bag.
