While "death by chocolate" sounds like a dream come true to some, an unfortunate incident
led to the death of a New Jersey factory worker. The 29-year-old man
fell into the melting machine while adding bits of solid chocolate to
the mixer. The batch was supposed to be prepared for Hershey's. The accident is being investigated, but BBC reports that he
passed away yesterday due to a head injury rather than the scalding
120-degree temperature of the chocolate.
