And in the media, we see the news reports about house fires. Or the drowning in a pool. These make the news. However, when was the last time you saw a news report about an accidental choking?
Like hardly ever, yet most often, the local news starts with a house fire.
Also in the media, for instance movies, you’ll see a patron in a posh restaurant suddenly grab their throat.
Usually, just like fire deaths, chocking deaths occur in the home, many times while alone.
