(NEWSER) – Bumble Bee Foods will fork out $6 million for the horrific death of an employee cooked alive in 12,000 pounds of tuna fish, NBC News reports. Announced Wednesday by prosecutors, the plea agreement is California's biggest ever for a workplace safety violation. It consists of $3 million to buy new automated ovens, $1.5 million to the state government and courts, and $1.5 million to the family of Jose Melena, 62, who died at Bumble Bee's Santa Fe Springs plant in 2012. He was working in a 36-foot-by-54-inch oven — likely fixing or altering a chain inside, the Whittier Daily News reports — when a co-worker assumed Melena was in the bathroom, dumped in tuna, and turned on the oven. An autopsy concluded Melena died from burns in the 270-degree pressure cooker.

Bumble Bee Foods charged after man cooked with tuna

"This is the worst circumstances of death I have ever, ever witnessed," Deputy District Attorney Hoon Chun tells the AP. "I think any person would prefer to be — if they had to die some way — would prefer to be shot or stabbed than to be slowly cooked in an oven." Former Bumble Bee safety manager Saul Florez pleaded guilty to breaking lockout rules and was hit with three years' probation and $19,000 in penalties and fines. The sentence for Bumble Bee's director of plant operations, Angel Rodriguez, includes fines and community service. Meanwhile, Chun says Melena's family has a civil attorney and could still sue Bumble Bee, CBS Los Angeles reports. "Certainly, nothing will bring back our dad, and our mom will not have her husband back, but much can be done to ensure this terrible accident does not happen again," says the family in a statement.

This was just the state imposed fines, not the civil suit Did anyone actually read the article?

cr, no way to prove it wasn't murder

i'll assume it was, because it's the most epic murder imaginable. saul florez did something very few people have gotten to do throughout history, and he got away with it too.

they were likely two spics who went way back and had incredible beef going a long ways back. imagine being able to roast your worst enemy alive in your workplace environment, and then get off scot-free because "i thought he was in the bathroom teehee" PEAK EXPERIENCE

So, after lawyers and whatnot -- of the $6MM total settlement, less the $1MM goes to family.

Sounds about right.

nah this will probably all go to the family. I doubt the state attorney had a contingency cut.
