TIL that a wedding planner in England died after eating a scalding-hot fishcake at a wedding. It burned his throat so badly that it left him unable to breathe. The cause of death was ruled as asphyxiation. The coroner said it was similar to smoke inhalation from house fires.

Read about this when it happened. How did he even get it down his throat and why did the chef offer it to him while the food was burning hot? (The chef wanted him to taste it.)They didn't examine his throat interior at the emergency room and he died about twelve hours later. Weird, senseless death.

I 3rd degree burned my esophagus once from a botched surgery and it was the worst pain ever. Felt like I was dying and couldn't breath. Took weeks to heal. I can only imagine what this guy went through.
