Acute airway obstruction or choking is reportedly commoner in children than adults.
Most commonly aspirated material among the children is either vegetable matter or
inorganic objects such as a toy.Foreign body aspiration (FBA)amounts to the fourth
leading cause of death occurring at either home or community places, in the United States
of America.The death rate in cases of FBA in adults is seven times higher among people of
age >65 years than in children, though the prevalence of it is less. Cardiovascular diseases
(CVD) including ischaemic heart disease and cerebrovascular such as stroke account for
17.7 million deaths. Such a case where the diagnosis of cardiovascular disease was much
eminent, turned out to be of choking on autopsy is discussed in this case report.
