Should have swallowed something harder
Mum-of-two chokes and dies after cramming seven marshmallows into her mouth in eating competition
https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/real- ... 6567693025A mum of two collapsed and died while taking part in a marshmallow eating contest.
Natalie Buss, 37, choked after cramming seven of the squidgy sweets in her mouth at a rugby club fundraising event.
A woman in the audience said: “The DJ was counting as each marshmallow went into her mouth.
“I think he got to seven. She was laughing at the same time and it was like she sucked the marshmallows further into her mouth.
“One minute everyone was enjoying themselves and whooping, the next she was on the floor. It was dreadful.
“First-aiders went forward to help and someone said they had gone for the defibrillator on the wall of a school opposite.“
But it didn’t help – her airways were blocked by the marshmallows.”
