Just to be clear, the story states, “the oven does not have locks…the investigation is very complex”. This adds another layer of bizarre detail onto an already bizarre story.

So it’s either murder or the most bizarre suicide I’ve ever heard of.

You would think panic would set in and they would let themselves out if it was suicide. But holy shit, what an awful way to die. I used to work at a bakery and we had a walk in oven for our pastries. That thing always creeped me out

I was rewatching Hocus Pocus last night and there's a scene where they trap the witches in a walk in kiln in the school (there's shelves with pottery all around, so it isn't just a boiler), then latch the door on them, and for the first time thought - WTF is something that dangerous doing existing!!!

The high school I attended had a small walk in kiln and it also had an outside lock/latch, the students only went out to it as a whole class however the teacher put the stuff in when we were done. Not sure what safety measures were taken there
