A BAKER has been strangled to death after her scarf got stuck in a bread-maker.
Zoe Letsiou, 49, was working in her bakery in Larissa, Greece when her scarf got caught in the machine’s rollers and tightened around her neck.
Emergency services were called to reports of the horror incident after a customer noticed the Letsiou’s absence.
Paramedics rushed to the bakery where they tried to resuscitate the 49-year-old.
But despite their best efforts, she was pronounced dead at the scene.
According to her brother-in-law, Letsiou was cleaning the machine at the time.
A fellow baker from a neighbouring store told ANT1: “the woman had finished production and was cleaning the machine, according to what her brother-in-law said.
“She was wearing a scarf which, when the machine started, got caught in the rollers and became a noose, and the scarf around her neck strangled her.”
Her death has left the small community of Damasi in shock.
Tributes have poured in for the much-loved baker who was well-known in the village.
One said: “What a shame, young woman. My deepest condolences to the family.”
Another added: “give courage to her family to bear the pain.”
Cops have since launched an investigation into the incident as they try to determine the exact cause of her death.
It comes as a mum-of-two was tragically found strangled to death at her home in Northamptonshire.
Popular churchgoing artist Isobella Knight was found by police in her house in June.
Officers raced to the property in Burton Latimer after originally being called to reports of a car crashing into a nearby McDonald’s restaurant.
A post-mortem examination found 32-year-old Isobella, known as Izzy, had died as a result of pressure being applied to her neck.
Paul Knight, 35, was charged with her murder and appeared at Northampton Crown Court yesterday.
Izzy’s heartbroken family penned emotional tributes to the “kind, gentle and much-loved” mum who would “always put her two little girls before anything else.”
Her mum Helena said she was the “perfect child”.
“She made it so easy to be a mum and her good nature was something that would never leave her.
“When her sister Georgina was born, they developed an immediate bond. They used to make me laugh because they were so different but they got on like a house on fire.
“To have to tell my daughter that her older sister had died, especially in these circumstances, was so painful.
“There really aren’t any words to describe the hurt.”
