GAV Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 From correspondents in Berlin | May 17, 2009 Article from: Agence France-Presse A GERMAN worker was boiled alive in an empty industrial-sized soup vat while trying to clean it, tabloid newspaper Bild reported. The 36-year-old, named only as Markus, was scrubbing the two-metre-high pot when the lid accidentally closed, automatically starting the jets of boiling water used to disinfect vegetables. "For reasons we have still not cleared up, the disinfection process started too soon," a police spokesman told the paper. By the time the unfortunate worker was found, he was already dead, Bild reported. The factory in Luebeck in northern Germany, which employs around 200 people, has been "provisionally closed," according to its owners, Erasco - a subsidiary of US soup-maker Campbell's.

Stramash Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 nasty way to go. Reminds me of my Granddad who worked in a distillery in Islay and fell into a vat of whisky and drowned. When the police informed my grandma, she asked if it was a quick death. The police officer replied 'Unfortunately not madam. He came out 5 times to go to the toilet' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
