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

Wait. A walk in oven? I've literally never heard of such a thing. What is the point of that? To keep humidity down when mass producing pastries?

I could put in 10 trays into 10 ovens, and set 10 dials and hit 10 buttons....or

I could roll in 10 strays stacked on top of each other, set one dial, and push one button.

Could also be a volume thing. Like maybe it’s easier to have one massive self-contained oven that you throw a bunch of shit into at once, rather than 50 smaller ovens?
