Worker at a seafood plant found cooked to death in an industrial oven

A worker at a seafood plant in LA met a tragic end after he was found cooked to death in an industrial oven.

Officials at the Police Department said in a statement that they received a call "regarding an industrial accident" involving a worker at a Seafood plant. Police and local fire-department personnel responded, where they found a 62-year-old male employee dead at the scene. The employee had worked for the business for six years.

Occupational Safety and Health Administration spokeswoman Erika Monterroza told the Whittier Daily News that an initial investigation indicated the worker "was fatally injured when he was cooked in an oven" but it was unclear how he ended up inside the oven, resulting in this "horrendous tragedy”. Operations at the plant were suspended for a few days.
