- Abstract
People experience choking by accidental slipping of food bolus in their respiratory tract in their daily lives. Most of the people recover from it but a few experience obstruction of the respiratory tract that cannot be cleared and may prove fatal. Accidental choking is the commonest manner of choking. Dead body of a 26 years old male subject was brought for postmortem examination. On autopsy examination, along with the signs of asphyxial death both externally and internally, congestion and erosion was seen in the trachea. Some traces of puffed rice was also visible along the respiratory tract by naked eyes. History furnished by the police was also corroborative. While having puffed rice with milk in his house, he suddenly became restless and turned unconscious; when taken to hospital, he was declared brought dead. This case reports about a fatal choking due to food bolus.
