A 103-year-old man with a history of heart illness died in hospital early Friday (Feb 11) morning after passing out while eating a chocolate cake at his home in Hong Kong.
Emergency personnel were called to his flat on Sau Chuk Yuen Road in Kowloon City shortly before 12.30am after police received a report from his son.
An initial investigation suggested the elderly man collapsed while eating in the living room, according to police. He lived with his son, daughter-in-law and a domestic helper.
He was taken in an unconscious state to Kwong Wah Hospital in Yau Ma Tei, where he later died.
A police spokesman said the initial examination did not show any indication the man had choked. He said an autopsy would be carried out to establish the cause of death.
Separately, a four-year-old boy died after he vomited and passed out at his home in Yuen Long soon after 3am.
His mother called police, saying the boy collapsed in the family’s village house in Nam Hang Tsuen on Tai Tong Road, according to police. Officers came to scene with paramedics in tow.
He was taken unconscious to Pok Oi Hospital in the district, where he later died.
A police source said the boy had a fever on Wednesday and was given medication for it. Police said an autopsy would be conducted.
well, at least he died happy...
I can think of worse ways to go.
But then again, I can think of better ways to go too.
What was in the cake?
Was is by any chance Devil’s Food Chocolate Cake?
Not that there’s anything wrong with that!
A naked lady jumped out of the cake.
In before the deranged ask “did he have the COVID-19 shot?
Death by chocolate. not just a metaphor.
did he have the COVID-19 shot
it’s true...there can be “death by chocolate!”
and the next cliche phrase...”at least he died doing something he loved!”
Carbs will kill you.
some chocolate does have that died and gone to heaven effect...
Did he?
I doubt this guy died of that.
What a way to go 🤪
They need an autopsy to establish cause of death?
Permanent rest, that is.
