Man dies at chocolate factory

Here is the link

An employee at a New Jersey chocolate processing plant died Wednesday after falling into a vat of hot chocolate, according to a spokesman for the Camden County Prosecutor's office.

Vincent Smith II, 29, was dumping raw chocolate into the vat for melting when he fell in from a nine-foot high platform. He suffered a fatal blow to the head from the vat's agitator, a paddle-like mechanism used for stirring the chocolate.

According to the Camden County prosecutor's office, three other people were on the platform at the time. One was able to shut the machinery off quickly, but it was too late to save Smith.

The facility, owned by Cocoa Services Inc., is managed and operated by by Lyons and Sons.

The rectangular vat, which was 8 feet deep, 14 feet long and 6 feet wide, was churning a batch of chocolate for Hershey's when the accident occurred, the prosecutor's office said.The article

What an awful way to go...Plus, I won't be eating any chocolate for a while :?

Thoughts?

I guess there are worse ways to go down. :lol:

I have something,but I'm not gonna post it.
Sucks though.

You know, as a kid, I always thought dying in a vat of chocolate would be awesome... but I guess it is just fairly horrific.

Willy Wonka murdered him.

I wonder if his hair and whatnot will be in the candy bars.

Atleast his death was quick, getting boiled alive by chocolate would be quite painful.

maybe a chocolate company will make a range of chocolates honoring him....or would that just be inappropriate?

That really sucks, but at least he didn't have to suffer.

I'd assume they'd throw the chocolate out.

food industry fatalities can be really gruesome. hopefully they discarded the batch.

What a bad way to go. I won't be eating hershey's chocolate anytime soon. :?

Pretty postive they will throw out all the choclate that was in that vat,it be pretty irresponsible if they didn't.

Chaarrrlliiieeee. Chaarrrlliiieee. Let's go to candy mountain, Chaaaarrrlliiiie. Candy Mountain, Charlie!

Looks like the unicorns stole more than just a kidney this time, folks.

Worlds largest chocolate easter bunny...man. >.>

I was surprised to see a Mod put that article up since they always pull threads making fun of someones death.

That is terrible. That is a horrible way to die.

I was starting to wonder if he jumbed in screaming "nom nom nom"...

Poor guy. He should have died drowning in chocolate. That might be the best way to go.
