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.

Too bad he was such a “hot head.”
I can think of about a dozen other far less painful methods that are more reliable.
I’d choose a shotgun to head, face first into a deep fryer is something I’d never entertain.
He thought it’d cure his head cold
“after” dunking his head?
Well, I hope at least it was beef tallow and not Canola oil...
Well…no more head lice!
I hope they changed out the oil after that.
I wonder if this was more of a “labor dispute”
Probably drugs involved, is my guess. Sad.
His coworkers will never close their eyes again at night without the sounds and smells in their heads.
I don’t think this suicide will encourage any Copy-cats.
Obviously on some sort of mental health pharmacology. It never fails.
Fried like a bad acid trip, only for real!
Do you think they changed the oil?
