CAMDEN, N.J. - Police said a man died Wednesday morning after falling into a tank full of chocolate at a Camden business.
Police were called to a warehouse and manufacturing facility on the 700 block of North 36th Street around 10:45 a.m. Wednesday for a report of a man who had fallen into hot chocolate.
The man had been in the melting pot for about 10 minutes by the time crews arrived, and by the time he was pulled out of the chocolate it was too late. He was declared dead shortly after 11 a.m.
The turnout gear of firefighters at the scene were covered with some chocolate, as were the clothes of an obviously distraught co-worker who was being consoled by an EMT. Th at co-worker appeared to have gone into the tank in an attempt to rescue the man who had fallen in.
According to public records, the building is owned by Lyons and Sons, and C & C Cola also does bottling at the facility. It's not clear exactly where the accident happened and how.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has been called in to investigate, Fox 29's Robin Taylor reported from the scene.

But he went HAPPY!
I suppose it would demonstrate too much intellectual curiosity on the part of the reporter to ascertain and report the cause of death...did the man drown, or was he scalded to death, or what?
Sorry, don’t know how I missed your post. Next thing you know, some parakeet will fly into a pan of scalding hot milk.
Uhhhh.... It seems pretty clear to me.....
He’ll fit right in, in Mayor Nagen’s Chocolate City!!

Poor guy....wonder what they do with the chocolate. In the steel mills if this would happen they make an ingot or something and dump it along the rivers edge
It shows, too!
Yuck! I just finished a piece of Rocky Road chocolate, and my stomach is making funny movements.
Man, what a way to go!
