A young man was found dead, with half of his body still inside a chorizo food processor, at Barangay Mansaya, Lapuz, Iloilo City. Authorities identified the victim as Jomar Junco, 18, from Laua-an town of Antique province.
Residents were stunned seeing photos of Junco’s lower torso with his legs hanging in mid-air.
Numerous news reports claimed that half of his body was eaten by the industrial meat grinder, which drove residents to compare the accident into a horror movie.
However, his body was intact when workers of the funeral home removed his body from the industrial meat processor.
Investigators also found that Junco was a neophyte worker at a chorizo factory.
When one of his co-workers stepped out of the room, Junco unfortunately tried to operate the machine by himself.
Police said they didn’t find any evidence of foul play.
