Doesn't appear to be the same story -- the other guy was supposedly "cleaning" the vat and got stuck due to the weight of the chocolate and suction holding him down.

If I worked in a chocolate factory, and a coworker got stuck in the vat, I'd use cocoa butter to thin it out, too; water would probably ruin the chocolate and then the boss would come down and we'd all be in a world of chocolate shit.
Well, I'd do that after I stopped laughing, taking photos, and making fun of the coworker.
