Death By Chocolate

Quite literally.

The Trentonian reports: Death by Boiling Chocolate.

A 29-year-old temporary worker slipped and fell this morning while loading raw chunks of chocolate into a melting tank, a spokesman for the Camden County Prosecutor’s office said.

A blade used to mix the raw chocolate struck Vincent Smith II causing him to fall into the boiling chocolate that was being prepared for shipment to be turned later into candy. The Camden man's screams attracted the attention of his co-workers with one trying to shut the machine off and two workers working quickly to release him, said Jason Laughlin, spokesman for the prosecutor’s office.

Initial reports say Smith was trapped in the 8-foot-deep vat for 10 minutes. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
