A man has died after falling into a vat of melted chocolate in a New Jersey processing plant.

The accident happened on Wednesday morning as 29-year-old Vincent Smith, a temporary worker at the Cocoa Services plant, was loading chocolate into a vat where it is melted and mixed before being shipped elsewhere to be made into sweets.

A co-worker tried to shut off the machine and two others tried to pull Mr Smith out of the eight-foot-deep vat.
