I know some ignorant people will try to make jokes about how this person died.
I won't.
It was a horrible way to die and the only thing I can say is, I send sympathy and condolences to his family.
I don't wish death on anyone unless it is some scum of the earth that really deserves it.
I don't know this man. He may have been a very good individual who was just trying to make a living.
I hope other posters will take that into consideration and not make jokes about him losing his life doing his job at a chocolate factory.
My heart goes out to him and his family.
I lost a great son-in-law when he went to work one morning and a forklift he was working on fell over and crushed him.
My daughter was a widow at 25 years old. My grandson lost his Dad when he was 4 years old.
Tragedy can happen in any family no matter what the occupation.
Let us not forget the feelings of the ones who have lost a loved one.
I have said what I said because some cruel people might tend to make unfeeling statements about someone losing their life making candy.
That is society today.
I hope that anyone who might be so cruel as to doing such is banned from this website.
RIP Vincent.
Vincent just might have been a very good person who lost his life making chocolate for the rest of us.

Robhu, I'm sorry about the loss of your son-in-law. I agree, death should never be made light of--unless it's someone like Timothy McVie--go ahead and make any jokes you want about taht type of scum.

I will say with all due respect that it's been an odd week for freak deaths in the workplace. The monorail accident at Disney, the poor man in the chocolate in NJ, and there was something on the news about a guy in Oregon (maybe?) the other day who had a freak fatal accident with a printing press or mail sorter or something along those lines. (Sorry, I was half asleep when I saw it.) Be careful out there everyone.
