A man has died after falling into a vat of hot chocolate at a factory in the US state of New Jersey.

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 the man appeared to have died instantly from a blow to his head by a paddle mixing the chocolate.

His colleagues at the factory tried to shut down the mixer, but were too late.

Mr Smith was a temporary worker at the Cocoa Services Inc plant in the city of Camden.

The chocolate is mixed at the plant by another company before being shipped.

He'll be sadly missed by the company After Eight years of loyal service.

Reminds Pighead of the time his grandad died. He didn't fall into a vat of chocolate though. He died after being trampled by a herd of rampaging bullocks. But just like this guys death, he too "died instantly"

Whats really crap is he didn't even get to die by chocolate, he got a smack on the head and died before the stuff could even get him.

seamus

Now that's what I call a sticky situation!

Loomis

I heard he was a bit of a maverick, but when he fell he didn't even let out a wispa.

Seamus did the reference right though

Loomis

Probably in another Galaxy by now...

RandolphEsq

He will be Cadburied

EDIT: Dam on 2nd page of thread so joke will lose a chunk of its audience

Loomis

I wonder if he did a Twirl as he fell in


I supposed it could have been worse...
He could have been hit by a Double Decker

Duiske

So when the Zombies come to get us, one will be covered in chocolate ? Revenge will be sweet !!

Loomis

In this recession it's another job created which is a bit of a Boost

When I started this thread I didn't expect this Topic to get so many responses.

Loomis

Did he hit his head and then fall in, or Vice Versa?

The job wasn't very good though; apparently he only earned Buttons. The company will pay out every Dime though in compensation so there might be a mini Celebrations

Loomis

The exact cause of death is still unclear. Police say only smarties have the answer.

Ok, this is a bit much. I'm a bit ashamed of these. I'm gonna have a Time-Out before returning to the thread

The cost of the funeral is causing concern for the family. Apparently it's estimated at $5,000 + VAT

brummytom

Ruining all that good chocolate!

How Dairy!! :mad: He must have been fruit and nuts; mars the pity.

The vat probably had stirring arms in it, so the body would be badly broken (if not bisected) upon discovery.

Oh sorry, what I meant was "I bet his darwinian accident is currently raising a lot of snickers around the world".

Splinter

sad all the same

I'm going home to throw out my "dip me in choclate and throw me to the lesbians" tshirt.

MOROever, its no Picnic falling into a vat of chocolate, I'd imagine whoever was responsible has a massive Bounty on their head right now.

They should have thrown Michael Jackson into the Vat, he would have looked more natural.

JC 2K3

lol, oh AH and its inconsistencies.

Hagar

Poor guy but this thread has me laughing out loud for real.

Loomis

If they don't clean the vat properly there is likely to be an arse and a half in every bar.

His co-workers have placed Roses at the spot where he died.

Chocolate finger anybody?

In the interest of health and safety it's reported that his coffin must now contain the warning "may contain nuts...and other body parts". I wonder if this is another Revels "guess the new flavour" campaign.

Loomis

Word has it the music to accompany the funeral will be from Elvis. "In the gateau" was his favourite tune..
