    Absolutely horrible way to die, and she has two young kids too.

    Wonder which is the accurate version of the events? The mobile phone going in, placing in emphasis on her own responsibility, or was she adding ingredients in which case working conditions at the factory need to be looked at? The mobile phone story sounds false, as a cover for bad practices at the factory. What would be the point of reaching for a mangled mobile? The sack of ingredients sounds more plausible and she lost her balance. Awful way to go.

    She could have been adding flour in an amateur capacity.

    “She was minced, only her legs were left,” said a local at the sweet factory.

    The molten chocolate really seems to be incidental compared to the thrashing blades or whatever else was in there that could mince a person.

    Given the mincing, I would have thought it was more of a Reece's pieces chocolate they were going for.

    And it happened just before Christmas which makes the whole thing much much worse.

    I think they should use the mixture to make chocolate Russian dolls, in her honour.

    Death by Chocolate wasn't to be taken literally. Sympathies to her young children and family.

    Did the chocolate have to be thrown out?

    What a waste.

    Jesus lads ease off the jokes ffs. It's not one bit funny what happened to the poor woman. You wouldn't want someone laughing if it was your wife or mother or sister.

    Fair point to be honest. I can't imagine the families grief at the moment.

    In fairness, the freakish nature of her death combined with the fact that this is After Hours pretty much invites people to make quips. Do you expect 5 to 10 pages of people posting "Thats terrible. RIP"?

    Horrible to imagine it.

    Some people get such awful deaths.

    Isn't it strange how geographic or cultural distance effects how we allow ourselves to feel about a tragic event?

    If this happened in Leixlip to a young Irish woman half the people on this thread would be banned already.

    God forbid if the victim was a semi famous Rugby player. The whole site might be shut down in a fit of indignation.

    No but there's still a lot to be said for having a bit of decency. Like referring to her as Umpa Lumpa is a bit much now.
