SANTA FE SPRINGS (AP) — Authorities say a 62-year-old employee was cooked to death at a Southern California seafood plant for tuna maker Bumble Bee Foods
The Whittier Daily News reports Jose Melena was found Thursday shortly before 7 a.m. at the plant in Santa Fe Springs. California Division of Occupational Safety and Health spokeswoman Erika Monterroza says t’s unclear how the man ended up inside a cooking device called a “steamer machine.”
The state department has launched an investigation into the accident.
In a written statement, Bumble Bee Foods spokesman Pat Menke expressed condolences to Melena’s family and says operations at the canning facility will be suspended at the plant until Monday.

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?
