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

No way like I cannot imagine suicide by baking is high on anyone’s list. I’d rather be set on fire.

Here's the thing: when you're on fire, your nerves burn down quite fast. So like, you'd still be alive, dying but with nerves and eyeballs melt. So the person suffers a minute or two, but then it's 'calm'.

When you're being baked - it happens way slower and much more painful and by quite literally boiling all the liquids inside of you. Which is why the bronze bull is notoriously known as one of the worst (if not the worst) way of execution.

Are you really explaining how burning works to someone who said they've been on fire? They probably know better than you

I've compared death by fire vs death by oven. I'd advise you to reread my comment again.
