A video camera captured the gruesome death of a Guatemalan immigrant who was sucked into a dough-mixing machine at a Brooklyn tortilla factory Monday.
Juan Baten, 22, was fatally crushed when one of his arms got caught in the waist-high tub at the Tortilleria Chinantla factory on Grand St. in
Williamsburg.
"I'm still in shock," said widow Rosario Ramirez, fighting tears as she described how Baten toiled at the minimum-wage job to support their 7-month-old daughter and his four brothers in Guatemala.
A surveillance video showed Baten repeatedly reached into the machine to press the dough and speed up the mixing, cop sources said.
At one point, he reached too far down and his arm was snagged on one of the mixer's rotating blades.
The machine then pulled him inside the large vat, and the mechanical arms crushed his head and chest, sources said.
The medical examiner ruled it an accident, but the NYPD and Occupational Safety and Health Administration are investigating.
OSHA said it had no record of prior violations. State records show the company failed a health inspection in June but passed a followup in October.

Man Electrocuted Peeing on Subway
A drunken man was electrocuted and killed relieving himself on the third rail in Brooklyn this morning, sources said.
Matthew Zeno, 30, was walking with a friend along the tracks for the southbound G train around 3:10 a.m., at Union Avenue and Broadway in Williamsburg when the horrific accident occurred, cops said.
His 26-year-old pal tried saving him and was also shocked, police added. The friend was able to flag down MTA workers, who in turn called for help, sources said.
Both men were rushed to Woodhull Hospital where Zeno died and the second man was listed in stable condition.
The pair were returning from a bar, cops said.

Man Killed While Having Sex on Strip Club Piano
SAN FRANCISCO, CA — A nude, screaming dancer found trapped under a man's crushed body on a trick piano that became pinned against a nightclub ceiling was too drunk to remember how she got there, police said. Authorities on Thursday said they were awaiting the results of an autopsy on James (Jimmy the Beard) Ferrozzo, 40.
His fully-clothed body was found on top of Teresa Hill, 23, a dancer at the Condor Club where Ferrozzo was an assistant manager. Detectives would not speculate on the circumstances of the death.
Ferrozzo probably saved the woman's life with a last-second kick that cut the switch on the motorized piano hoist, said fire Lt. Jim Lyons, whose rescue crew was called to the club. The body provided two or three inches of cushion that kept the woman from being crushed, he said. The baby grand piano had been used for almost 20 years by entertainer Carol Doda, who made her entrance by reclining across the instrument while it was lowered by cable to the stage of the topless club.
"If I were to speculate on the cause of death, it would be asphyxiation as a result of being crushed," Detective Guinther Whitey said.
Police discovered shards of glass and blood spattered in the club. A little blood was found by the bar, but Detective Guinther Whitey said he couldn't be sure where it came from. "The young lady had a couple of cuts on her hand," he said.
The dancer said she had been dating Ferrozzo since her arrival in San Francisco two weeks ago.
No one is certain what caused the piano to rise toward the 12-foot-high ceiling, but something or someone may have bumped the switch, on the wall near the piano, Detective Marvin Dean said.
"I don't see how this could possibly have happened," said a young woman who identified herself as Desiree, a dancer at the club.
"When you get on the piano, it goes up so slow, they should have noticed it," she said. "They could have jumped off."
Hill was rescued after someone heard her shouts for help.
"She was so intoxicated she doesn't even remember getting on the piano," Whitey said. "She just remembers waking up and being pinned on the piano."
Hill was treated for bruises at a hospital.

Woman Falls Off Balcony During Sex
One night six years ago, at a Sheraton Hotel just east of Los Angeles, a woman went over the balcony of Room 813 in the middle of the night.
Officers identified the victim as Sandra Orellana, 27, a single woman from Houston. She was found in a pool of blood, 104 feet down from the balcony of her hotel room.
During their investigation, Robert Lee Salazar, a 33-year-old executive from Houston, came out of Room 815. When Salazar learned about the incident, he told police that Orellana worked for him and that they were traveling together.
Salazar, who was married with two children, told the deputy he and Orellana had been out the night before to dinner, and had been drinking. He said she'd been very drunk, and he had taken her to her room about midnight, closed the door, and left.
But police were suspicious. They had found a pair of men's underwear in Orellana's room, Room 813, and a shoe wrapped up in the bedding at the foot of the bed.
In Salazar's room, Room 815, Rodriguez found the matching shoe and underwear similar to that found in the other room. Salazar soon admitted that he had had sex with Orellano the night before, and that she had accidentally fallen while they were engaged in foreplay on the balcony.
"[I was] rubbing on her, she was rubbing on me. She, she turned around. And then all of the sudden she, she grabbed the balcony and pushed herself up to, to turn over. And when she did that, she just went over," he told Rodriguez.
Salazar never called anyone to report that Orellana had gone off the balcony. He did, however, make two other phone calls - two chilling phone calls that, according to Rodriguez, made him look even more guilty.
Rodriguez arrested Salazar the next day.

Man 'Raped' To Death By Five Wives
A wealthy businessman - and husband of six - has died after allegedly being forced into a marathon sex session with his 'jealous' wives.
Nigerian Uroko Onoja was having sex with the youngest of his spouses when the remaining five are reported to have set upon him with knives and sticks - and demanded that he have sex with each of them too.
Mr Onoja went on to have intercourse with four of his wives in succession, but 'stopped breathing' as the fifth was making her way to the bed in Ogbadibo, according to Nigeria's Daily Post.
Two women have been arrested following the incident in the state of Benue last week, said the report, which used the term 'raped to death' to describe the businessman's fate.

Kinky Sex, Shocking Death
A kinky sex escapade ended with the electrocution death of a Pennsylvania woman and the arrest of her husband for manslaughter.
According to cops, Toby Taylor, 37, first claimed that his wife Kirsten was shocked by her hair dryer. But he then admitted that the couple was "into weird sexual behaviors," according to a probable cause affidavit. Taylor then explained that he hooks clips to his wife's nipples and "plugs the cord into a electric strip" and shocks her.
On Wednesday evening, Taylor said, Kirsten removed her clothes, attached the clips, and shocked herself. He then picked up the electric strip and shocked her several more times, adding that he had placed a piece of electric tape over her mouth during the jolts.
After the last shock, Kirsten, 29, "fell over on to her face." Taylor initially thought his wife was joking, but quickly realized she was unconscious. He then dressed her in preparation for driving to the hospital, but instead called 911 when she stopped breathing.
Taylor, pictured in this mug shot, told investigators that the couple had "been engaging in electric shock sex and other types of extreme bondage for about 2 years." He was charged yesterday with involuntary manslaughter and reckless endangerment, and was jailed in the York County lockup (where he remains in custody on $100,000 bail).
