A 24-year-old salon manager 'froze to death' inside a cryochamber after she accidentally got locked inside the machine and temperatures plummeted to minus 240 degrees Fahrenheit.
Chelsea Ake, the manager of Rejuvenice in Henderson, Nevada, was found dead inside the salon's cryochamber earlier this week by distraught employees, NBC reported.
Investigators have ruled her death 'operator error.' And preliminary findings suggest that Ake may have used the machine without any assistance and may have suffocated while inside.
Authorities with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration told KSNV that they believed Ake was in the chamber for at least 10 hours altogether.
Cryotherapy is an alternative to cold-water immersion or ice packs, but machines are never used for more than three minutes because temperatures can fall as low as minus 240 degrees Fahrenheit.
Shae-Lynn Bee, Ake's friend said: 'I do know that she was alone closing the shop up, and then did go into the machine and apparently did not turn off.'

Yikes, I would think she was brittle, and breakable after that.

Gotta file this one the same as that guy at the tuna cannery who got steamed to death a little while back. Opposite extremes of a nasty way to check out.

Poor woman. Can you imagine the terror and desperation she went through before she lost consciousness.
