(Newser) – Authorities say a 62-year-old employee has been cooked to death at a Southern California seafood plant for tuna maker Bumble Bee Foods. Local media report that Jose Melena was found shortly before 7am Thursday at the plant in Santa Fe Springs. It's not clear how the man ended up inside a cooking device called a "steamer machine," says a spokesperson for California Division of Occupational Safety and Health, which has launched an investigation. Operations at the canning facility will be suspended until Monday. (Read more tuna stories.)
