Boy chokes on pig fat


A Year 6 boy almost died yesterday when he choked on his bacon and eggs.

The boy, Elijah, was at home eating breakfast when the incident occurred.

“I decided to eat a piece of bacon fat because I’d never tasted it before,” said Elijah.

“The bacon fat was very stringy and got stuck in my throat,” he continued.

Elijah’s mother immediately rang the ambulance.
He is still in a critical condition in the Royal Children’s Hospital.
