Cass Elliot's death was initially misreported as having been caused by her choking on a sandwich. The true cause of death, a heart attack, was not determined until an autopsy was performed a week later. No food was found in her trachea.

Just laying old tales to rest.

And yes, it was a stupid attack on the film and it's maker.

Well, not to put too fine a point on it, but the poster did say she died WHILE eating a sandwich, not because of it. If they were looking for food in her trachea, is it not possible that she was eating when she had her heart attack?
