West Bromwich man dies after choking on fish and chips
“It was as though he was choking, but he wasn’t coughing,” Mrs Growcutt’s statement read.
Her partner Jeffrey Jones attempted to dislodge the food without success, and the pair gave him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Paramedics arrived and cleared his airways.
Mrs Growcutt told the coroner her brother had occasionally put too much food in his mouth at once.
“I don’t quite know what motivated him to take too much food,” she said.
A post mortem revealed that Mr Wall had died from brain damage due to choking.
Coroner Robin Balmain recorded that he died as the result of an accidential death.
