Immediately after her death, gossip columns speculated[who?] that Elliot died choking on a ham sandwich. Speaking to the press shortly after her body was discovered, the police noted that a partly eaten sandwich had been found in her room and speculated that she may have choked while eating it. When the coroner’s autopsy was performed, no food was found in her trachea and the cause of death was determined to have been heart failure and that she had died in her sleep.[10] But by then, the specious story was already making the rounds and the real cause of death was rarely discussed. The incorrect story has remained a part of the popular culture. Elliot died in the same flat, No.12 at 9 Curzon Place, Mayfair that The Who drummer Keith Moon would die in, a little over four years later.[12]

Oh well..it wouldn’t be funny if it wasn’t so believable.

Thanks for the info.

So, the moral to the story is to never eat a ham sandwich or chicken leg in No.12 at 9 Curzon Place, Mayfair.
