Wow, what a terrible way to die.
These industrial steamers are massive, often several stories high.

Reporters asked the dead man how he came to die in a fish steamer, but he just clammed up.

The family has a big settlement to the tuna millions of dollars in the can! No need to hire a shark shyster.

The guy really got steamed because he heard that he was going to get canned. (I stole that)

Is that standard procedure for industrial accidents?
