Man dies while cleaning pot
A German worker was boiled alive in an empty industrial-sized soup vat while trying to clean it, tabloid newspaper Bild reported yesterday.
The 36-year-old, named only as Markus, was scrubbing the two-meter-high pot when the lid accidentally closed, automatically starting the jets of boiling water used to disinfect vegetables.
