Back in 2002, a man died after being pushed in the street by his neighbour and falling 15 feet into boiling water.
Kyle McGarity, 25, was on a night out with his friend and neighbour Keith Masters, 47, in Lower Manhattan.
The pair got into a scuffle in the early hours of the morning and McGarity fell 15 feet into a manhole flooded with scalding hot water filled with steam.
The manhole, an access point to a steam main buried below, was open to vent steam from a small leak in the main that workers had been trying to locate and fix.
A plastic vent stack eight feet tall covered the hole, but was somehow dislodged, the police said.
It took several hours for workers to reduce the steam enough to pull McGarity's body from the manhole, the police said.
An autopsy revealed that McGarity had died of steam burns and scalding on 60 percent of his body.
Though Masters told detectives that he and McGarity had simply been play-fighting and that it was an accident, witnesses gave a different account and Masters was charged with second degree murder.
Now, a simulation of the terrifying incident has been recreated by Zack D. Films which shows McGarity's final moments as he died in what many people describe as one of the worst deaths imaginable.
