A tragic incident unfolded in Lampang yesterday as a Thai woman met her untimely death after swallowing her dentures. The 67-year-old woman, identified as Moi, collapsed while at a fresh market where she was working.

 

It was later revealed that her windpipe had been blocked by the dentures, leading to her fatal demise despite rescue attempts.

 

As onlookers rushed to aid Moi, rescuers arrived swiftly, administering CPR and racing her to the nearest hospital. On the way, they discovered the dentures lodged in her throat—a grim revelation that sealed her fate as they couldn’t remove it in time to save her life. This shocking accident serves as a dire reminder for denture users everywhere.

 

In light of this event, Channel 7 has urged all users to regularly inspect their dentures and ensure they are not damaged. If denture maintenance is overlooked, it could lead to severe injuries or even life-threatening scenarios like Moi’s.

 

 

 

The warning strikes a chord, echoing a similar near-tragic event involving a retired teacher from the southern province of Nakhon Si Thammarat last September.

 

Interestingly, a Spanish woman's ordeal highlights the dangers of choking hazards from unforeseen objects. She used a toothbrush to free chicken meat blocking her airway, inadvertently swallowing the dental utensil too.

 

Quick medical action successfully removed the foreign object, a fortunate outcome contrasting the somber incident in Lampang.

 

This sequence of events calls attention to the critical need for regular denture checks and general vigilance against accidental swallowings. Such preventative measures could avert potentially fatal consequences.

I don't know what's worse swallowing your dentures or swallowing a toothbrush. Quite frankly it's hard to imagine doing either. I wonder if there were drugs or alcohol involved, they seem like they would both be fairly hard to swallow. 

 

There are some pretty bizarre ways to die no doubt, but that's right up there on the top of the list.
