List of choking deaths

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of notable people who have died by choking.

[edit]

In the mockumentary film This is Spinal Tap, the band's former drummer, Eric "Stumpy Joe" Childs, is said to have died after he "choked on vomit" and that "it was actually someone else’s vomit". (This is almost certainly a parody of the deaths of real-life rock stars John Bonham and Bon Scott, as cited above.)
