HATFIELD, Pa. (AP) - A candy factory worker died after being submerged in a 1,200-gallon vat of liquefied chocolate, police said.
Yoni Cordon, 19, of Philadelphia, was discovered in the vat by co-workers at the Kargher Corporation on Tuesday, authorities said.
Police said they believe Cordon had been working on a platform near the opening of the vat, which is used for mixing and melting chocolate.
Nobody saw Cordon fall and it was unknown how long he was submerged before he was found, Hatfield Township police detective Patrick M. Hanrahan said.
Hanrahan said foul play was not suspected and the death was being investigated as an accident.

I still don't get this new format; how to move things to "chit chat"? it isn't a topic "choice" when posting a thread. Thanks.

Yoni Cordon, 19, of Philadelphia, was discovered in the vat by co-workers at the Kargher Corporation on Tuesday, authorities said. Umm. Well. It's unfortunate about the accident, but what were the parent's thinking when they named him that!
It MEANS something in Hindi or Sanskrit, and it does not seem like a nice name for someone...

"I fell into a vat of chocolate."
"What did you do when you fell into the vat of chocolate?"
"I yelled 'FIRE!' when I fell into the vat of chocolate."
"Why did you yell fire when you fell into the vat of chocolate?"
"Because no one would have come if I yelled 'Chocolate!'"
(as heard on the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour years ago)

Nobody saw Cordon fall and it was unknown how long he was submerged before he was found, Hatfield Township police detective Patrick M. Hanrahan said. The body was found after it floated up?..and how much choc was processed into candy or syrup...oh great... Back to butterscotch... (and my apparent complete lack of compassion for a man probably murdered..)
To: madfly
Wish you hadn't done that. My post went just after yours, and now I look really stupid, like I hadn't read any of the other posts. Apparently, great minds think alike.
To: RedBloodedAmerican
Hanrahan said foul play was not suspected and the death was being investigated as an accident. Clearly a case of Death by Chocolate.
