Jharkhand man chokes on rasgulla, dies | Ranchi News
JAMSHEPUR: A 41-year-old man died after choking on a rasgulla at a wedding in Jharkhand’s Jamshedpur.Doctors said the syrupy sweet blocked Lalit Singh’s airways, which disrupted oxygen supply and led to his death.Lalit had difficulties in breathing after the rasgulla got stuck in his throat during the wedding in Malianta village near Jamshedpur on Saturday. As his condition deteriorated, he was rushed to the city’s MGM Hospital but couldn’t be saved.“When food gets stuck in the windpipe (trachea) rather than the muscular food tube (oesophagus), it prevents oxygen from reaching the lungs, leading to death,” said Dr Mrityunjay Kumar of MGM Hospital.
