A bizarre death occurred yesterday evening at a factory that
makes food products.
At around 10.57pm on 18 Feb, a 25-year-old Chinese national
worker died after his leg got caught in a large flour mixing
machine in the factory located at Defu Lane 3.
It is unknown how the man's leg got caught but it resulted in
him being physically pulled into the machine.
The man was dead by the time he was successfully pulled out of
the machine at least 45 minutes later.
A spokesperson from the factory declined to comment on the
incident.
