death by chicken (bone)

Today, I found out the circumstances surrounding my friend, Faye's, death. She didn't overdose on her psychiatric meds nor did she slit her wrists. She was drinking (alcohol) while eating and choked on a chicken bone.

Also, the two fellow transients hanging out with her are not deceased. Although drinking themselves, they did call 911 when it became apparent Faye was in trouble. But by the time the aid car arrived, Faye was gone.

I'm relieved that she didn't commit suicide. But really, a chicken bone?
