Last month, a man in India died tragically after falling into a giant pot of porridge and suffering severe burns. A graphic video [viewer discretion recommended].
A victim named Muthuswamy was said to have been responsible for overseeing preparations for the porridge for the upcoming festival. It is reported.
But things took a turn for the worse after he suffered an unfortunate spill on July 29th. In a clip of an incident in Tamil Nadu, the event organizer can be seen suddenly staggering backwards and walking along a line of porridge tanks after appearing to lose his balance.
The unstable soul attempts to take up position in one of the cauldrons, but it splashes and falls into the scalding stew.
Witnessing a freak accident, bystanders rush to try and rescue Musaswamy to no avail. After what seemed like an eternity in the pot, the poor fellow was finally retrieved by a team of Samaritans and then taken to Rajaji Government Hospital.
Unfortunately, his savior came too late. Muthuswamy tragically died from severe burns received in the stew.
It is still unclear what caused the man's sudden instability, but his wife said he had epilepsy, which may have triggered the fall.
Police have since launched an investigation into the tragedy. .
In a similar freak accident in 2016, aRussian confectionery factory worker died after falling into a giant mixer filled with melted chocolate.
