Authorities say a man has died after falling into a vat of melted chocolate in a New Jersey processing plant.
A spokesman for the Camden County Prosecutor's Office says the 29-year-old temporary worker at Cocoa Services Inc. plant fell after a blade used to mix raw chocolate hit him. The man's name has not been released.
The accident happened around 10:30 a.m. Wednesday as the worker was loading raw chocolate into the vat where it's melted and mixed before being shipped elsewhere to be made into candy products.
The victim was said to have been trapped in the vat for nearly 10 minutes before being freed, reports CBS station KYW. Officials said a preliminary investigation has revealed that the worker may have suffered a head injury while inside the vat.
Prosecutor's spokesman Jason Laughlin says a co-worker tried to shut off the machine and two others tried to pull the man out of the 8-foot deep vat.
Cocoa Services hires a second company - Lyons and Sons - to do the mixing.

Tim Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory could have been the greatest horror flick of all time... Things like this show you why.
Prosecutor: Ooompa-loompa-doopity-dooo, I've got another question for you . . .Interesting that the prosecutor's office is handling it.
The oompa loompas should have gotten a spin-off movie.
Wow...
Safety officials will be all over this one.
Temporary worker? Did they mean an illegal alien I wonder.
naaa...they were making cocoa, not mexican chocolate.
Wow. No one's said "death by chocolate!" yet? Is that just because Bennigan's corporate folded?
Another GOP platform plank, brought to you by Mild Cobra.
Death by Chocolate....
There is a thing called work visas.
I use them.
Just because someone is a temporary worker doesnt mean they are illegal.
I know that, and I am perfectly happy with that. We need to grant legal immigration to people who want it, and can contribute. I just cannot stand the lack of ethics behind hiring people who are here illegally.
Please do note, I did specify illegal in that posting.
