A mature student in Swansea choked to death on five fairy cakes according to a coroner’s report released today.
34 year old Adam Deeley originally from Birmingham was living in Swansea whilst he studied graphic design, and worked part time at the Monkey Bar. On 22nd February this year, whilst off duty, Deeley joined in a cake eating competition being held at the bar. In a confident attempt to win the competition he duly stuffed five of the cakes into his mouth.
Mr Deeley began to choke on the cakes and was led to the toilets by a colleague who attempted to Heimlich the victim.
Unfortunately Mr Deeley, who was only one and a half times over the drink drive limit at the time, passed out and hit his head on the toilet. An ambulance was called to the scene but paramedics failed to resuscitate Mr Deeley who had gone into cardiac arrest.
A post-mortem revealed the cause of death to be choking on fairy cakes jammed in the upper and lower respiratory tract.
The coroner gave a verdict of misadventure.
