Choked on lobster
(N.Z.P.A.-Reuter—Copyright) LONDON, Dec. 28. A man choked to death when a piece of lobster stuck in his throat after he had dined at the Bear Hotel in Woodstock, an inquest at Oxford was told. A verdict of death by misadventure was recorded on John Harrison, aged 48, a company director, of Knowle. Dr R. Cowdell, a pathologist, said Mr Harrison had 380 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood. “This is getting very close to the level where one could have a death from acute alcohol poisoning,” he added.
