What a way to go.
An unidentified man fell into a tank of boiling chocolate and died.
Camden, NJ police said they were called to a North 36th Street warehouse owned by Lyons and Sons, and C & C Cola about 10:45 a.m., July 8.
But by the time rescue crews arrived, the unidentified man was already dead.
He had been in the vat of hot chocolate for about 10 minutes before rescue crews arrived.
When he was scooped from the chocolate it was too late.
He was declared dead not long after 11 a.m.
A co-worker tried to go into the tank to rescue the man, but failed. His clothes and firefighters' gear were covered with some chocolate.
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has been called into to investigate.
