A man was "cooked alive" inside an industrial oven after he was accidentally locked inside by a co-worker. Alan Catterall died while working at kayak-making factory Pyranha Moulding.
Tragically, while Alan was scrubbing plastic from inside, colleague Mark Francis switched the oven on, which automatically triggered the closure of the doors.

Mr Ballen added: "And so, screaming in pain and pounding on the door leaving his skin on the door every time he hit it Alan eventually just collapsed to the ground in unimaginable pain as he cooked alive."
Workers finally became aware of what happened when Alan's body was engulfed in flames, with black smoke from his charred body filling the factory.
Alan's wife Pearl, who also worked for the firm, said she blamed the company for his death, rather than
