Olive Garden cook klils self by intentionally dunking head into searing hot deep fryer

A cook has died after he dunked his own head into a searing hot deep fryer as his co-workers frantically tried to stop him from committing su!cide, authorities said. 

The Olive Garden restaurant employee, who hasn’t been identified, stripped his clothes off and thrust his face into the fryer at the chain’s restaurant in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, last Friday afternoon, Jan. 30, the Smoking Gun reported. 

“A male victim went head first into the fryers,” dispatchers could be heard saying in grim 911 audio. 

“I don’t have a lot of details, lot of people screaming, some kind of a burn victim,” another operator could be heard saying. 

The cook was rushed to a nearby hospital to be treated for his severe burns, but he later d!ed from his injuries, authorities said. 

A female employee suffered minor burns after she and several other workers tried to stop the cook from injuring himself even further. 

At least one customer also tried to intervene. 

Both Olive Garden and authorities refused to release any details about the ordeal, only describing it as a “su!cide attempt.” 

The restaurant shut down for several days in the wake of the incident but has since reopened.
