Bumble Bee Foods paid $6 million to settle criminal charges due to the death of a plant worker.
Jose Melena, 62, was cooked inside a 35-foot long, 270-degree kettle he was repairing.
Seems a co-worker assumed Jose was in the bathroom and dumped six tons of canned tuna over the hapless father-of-six...then turned the oven on.
Jose's body was found two hours later after the pressure cooker was turned off, cooled, opened and emptied.
Tragic.
