Man Dies Horrific, Chocolatey Death

This just in from BBC about an East Coast on-the-job-accident:

Vincent Smith Jr, 29, was emptying pieces of solid chocolate into the melting vat when he slipped from a platform into the 2.5m (8ft) deep unit. ... A spokesman for the local prosecutor’s office said Mr Smith appeared to have died instantly from a blow to his head by a paddle mixing the chocolate.

Also, the melting vat was 120 degrees. Brutal!
