What a bizarre death..:erm:

[Derek]

As deaths goes its a pretty sweet way to die...

I can see a few establishments quickly rubbing "Death by Chocolate" off the menu.

[Derek]

I'm not sure what type of chocolate they were making but the whole batch is now ruined as it contains some nuts.

*slinks through door in shame*

Seriously it does sound a fairly horrific way to go. It happens every so often with people falling into vats at breweries and the like.

The shampoo factory where I used to work nearly lost someone in a vat when they were building the site. He fell in and impaled himself on some spikes inside. I'm glad I wasn't the one who had to climb in after him and extract him.

Blimey he was lucky to survive, he'd have been a gonner if the spikes had gone into his head & shoulders. :erm:

Nah, he'd have been alright - he could just have gone to the clinique...

[Hugh]

But was he worth it?

Wish some people would stop milk (tray) ing it

*runs*

[Hugh]

But there's a whole galaxy of choc jokes we can revel in, just like minstrels of old.

[Peter_]

Maybe he is a Chocoholic and fell off the rails:D

[Maggy]

I wonder if they will just sling him in a selection box for the funeral?:erm:

[Cobbydaler]

Black Magic might bring him back...

[LondonRoad]

Apparently it was after eight and he lindt in too far. He should have taken a time out then he'd bounty come up roses. {coat, door etc}

[Dude111]

Very sad :(

[Maggy]

Yes you are right Dude..it's just we Brits tend to indulge in gallows humour over cases like this because it is rather an horrific death.

After all many of us as workers may find ourselves in dangerous positions in our regular jobs or in any temporary job as this particular worker was.

There is no disrespect meant at all.:erm:

Indeed, we Revel in it.

[Nugget]

Indeed, we Revel in it.

Not too much Celebrations though...

[joglynne]

Not too much Celebrations though...

....well not until After Eight.

some people think its only ok to mock the dead if they have a small place in society such as this man. Jacko was a different manner to some although I recieved a lot of funny jokes about it ;)

I heard a few too...but then I'm not really bothered not being a fan as such.:)

It would have been an horrific death, I know as I used to work in a factory making chocolate and know how easy it could be to die in such a way.http://www.smileyshut.com/smileys/new/free-sad-smileys-328[1].gif (http://www.smileyshut.com/Smileys/Smiley-Huts-Free-Sad-Smileys.html)
