PATTAYA - GERMAN MAN DIES CHOKING ON FALSE TEETH IN SOI 6 BEER BAR

In the afternoon of 10th June 2009 Pattaya police were notified that a foreign man had died in a room at the Lucky Love beer bar in Soi 6, North Pattaya.

Police Major Wittaya Yuenyong was notified at 4:30 pm and despatched a police and rescue team to the bar located 437/ 102 ,Pattaya Soi 6 ,Pattaya Beach Road,Nongprue.

At the three storey building which has 6 rooms for rent on the second and the third floor with a bar on the ground floor, police found the dead body of the man in a room on the second floor. The dead man was identified as Mr. Klaus Peter Rudole J.Unger [69], a German national. He was lying on a bed wearing only underpants. The police also found some false teeth, a wallet and cream color shorts placed on the bed. The police found no signs of foul play and estimated he had been dead for about one hour.

Miss Kanittha Noothong, [24], the bar owner, told police that Mr. Unger walked into the bar and asked for a bottle of water. He complained that he had difficulty breathing. She then took him to the room upstairs so he could rest and summoned an ambulance from the Pattaya International Hospital.

In the time it took the ambulance to arrive, Mr.Unger was suffering from severe convulsions. She said she and the bar staff did not know what to do except to wait for the doctor.

When the doctor arrived, they immediately examined the man and found his false teeth had stuck in his throat. These were removed and his heart was pumped in an effort to revive him but unfortunately the man did not survive.

The police will carry out further investigations to ascertain the real cause of death and his body will be sent for autopsy. The embassy and his relative will be informed accordingly.

Only in Pattaya !

I don't know for a fact but I'm sure that this has happened before (perhaps many times) in many places around the world.

Ive just googled "choked on false teeth" and my 10 seconds worth of research shows this is the only guy for this to ever happen to where the person ended up dead .... he is no.1 on the search.

"swallowed false teeth dies" gets similar results, apart from some women in 1920 that it happened to.

You didn't notice in the top results a Taiwanese lady dying in 2007 of choking on a plum and her dentures? Took me less than 10 seconds.

I always wondered if this could be possible, now I know. If you're feeling sick or sleepy and have dentures, please take them out! It's not clear if that was his cause of death, in this case, however.

My condolences to the man's family.

I couldn't help notice that as is usually reported, the state of the man's attire is mentioned - "wearing only underpants". Why does every pseudo-journalist in Pattaya feel it's necessary to remind us that Thailand's a very hot country. I'm afraid that if I were to die in my condo, they would find me wearing only a pair of light cotton shorts, and that would be mentioned. Why? - to make me look like a sexpat or infer that I was a person of loose morals or doing something sleazy? Of course, the real reason I was found dead wearing few pieces of clothing was because it's freaking hot here and I don't want to run the AC all day - easier to dress down. The likes of Pattaya Daily News and Pattaya One News should not be tolerated anywhere in the world. These are 2 of the most distasteful representations of pseudo-journalism found anywhere on the planet.
