An Olive Garden cook has died after he dunked his own head into a searing hot deep fryer — as his co-workers frantically tried to thwart his gruesome suicide, authorities said.
The employee, who hasn’t been identified, stripped his clothes off and thrust his face into the fryer at the chain’s restaurant in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, last Friday afternoon, the Smoking Gun reported.
“A male victim went head first into the fryers,” dispatchers could be heard saying in grim 911 audio.
“I don’t have a lot of details, lot of people screaming, some kind of a burn victim,” another operator could be heard saying.
The cook was rushed a nearby hospital to be treated for his severe burns, but he later died from his injuries, authorities said.

Sounds like something a TikTocker would do for clicks.
Yes, here’s hoping.

Nothing like conservatives laughing at mens problems. And suicides.
Really love this place.
I’m glad I don’t ever go to Olive Garden or any other restaurant pretending to be Italian!
At 87 thyroid is the only med I am on, but I do take a lot of supplements morning and evening. I discovered Adelle Davis over 50 years ago, and her advice prevented my developing the kind of horrible varicose veins that gave my mother open ankle ulcers for 6 years, and vein stripping at age 45. Since then besides ordinary vitamins and minerals, I have added boron for osteoporosis and back pain, and 5 supplements to reverse my Cataract formation. Probably as a result of one or more of those 5, I have grown 1 inch. Very unusual.
My mother had low thyroid and her heritage was Prussian German. My father was half Welsh and that parent lived to 98 and two sisters lived to 103 and 104. I recently was given the info about the 2 sisters, and at 87 I have now revised my life plan, figuring I have at least 10 active years remaining and perhaps more? Both my parents died at 90, but each had health affecting issues that they refused to confront and improve, or had discovered too late to fix.

Ditto! Wonderful advice, much of which I've followed since the late 1960s.
