    Or, you know, turn it off? There must have been an emergency kill switch on that thing

      Unless the oven auto starts on close I don’t see how this could have happened with the victim alone. I think ours would idle when closed but they would be already on (warm enough to alert/stop someone walking inside). Like it’d have to be a shit design if an employee could just close themselves inside one and the oven starts some sort of program or turns on due to a schedule. Very interested to hear what the investigation turns up. Feels very much like someone might be up for manslaughter/ neg homicide.

      Ex: She was inside cleaning and an employee wearing ANC headphones closed it and hit it the on. Or someone closing her in there as a “prank” not realising the danger.
