German chokes on dentures, dies in a Soi 6 bar

Boonlua Chatree
A German man, sleepy after rounds of beer drinking died after swallowing his dentures in a room above a Soi 6 bar.
Klaus Peter Rudolf J. Unger, three days beyond his 69th birthday, was discovered flailing wildly on a bed on the second floor of the Lucky beer bar June 10 by owner Kanitha Noothong. Although realizing the man was choking, Kanitha was unable to rescue him before he suffocated.
Police arrived to find Unger lying dead in only his underwear for about 10 minutes.
There were no signs of disarray or fighting in the room.
Kanitha said Unger had been drinking beer in her bar and asking to rest in a room upstairs. She went up to check on him and saw him choking on his upper dentures and called an ambulance. He died before the medical team arrived. Unger’s body was sent to the Forensic Institute for an autopsy.
