Authorities say a man died after falling into a vat of melted chocolate in a New Jersey processing plant.
The Camden County prosecutor's office identified the victim as 29-year-old Vincent Smith II. He was a temporary worker at the Cocoa Services Inc plant.
The accident happened on Wednesday morning as Smith was loading chocolate into a vat where it's melted and mixed before being shipped elsewhere to be made into candy.
Prosecutor's spokesman Jason Laughlin says a co-worker tried to shut off the machine and two others tried to pull Smith out of the 8-foot-deep (two-and-a-half-metre-deep) vat. He was hit and fatally injured by the agitator that mixes the chocolate.
Cocoa Services hires a second company - Lyons and Sons - to do the mixing.
