I don't know about industrial accidents with a cold press, but crushing(juicing) people to death has been a thing for millenias.

In fact, while I don't have any evidence for this, I'd bet good money that cold pressing has been far more common that hot pressing. Cooking to death has probably happened more, but pressing to death without heat has to be second or third in the list of food-preparation-related ways to kill people. "Chopping-up" has to be first, though.

Chopping up
Cooking (baking/boiling, etc)
Cold pressing

and then somewhere way down would be hot-pressing.

I think the Byford Dolphin incident kind of fits that criteria? The people involved did die due to pressure
