RIP NATHANIEL ROBBINS ( August 3, 2025)

Formal pronouncement of death was made on Sunday.

When people are intoxicated or drunk, their brain and reflexes don’t work properly, which can make it easier to choke. If the airway gets blocked by food or vomit, it can cause serious issues like a lack of oxygen to the brain, leading to brain injury. This lack of oxygen can trigger cardiac arrest, as the heart stops beating due to the lack of air. Alcohol intoxication increases the risk of choking because it weakens the body’s natural reflexes, making it harder to clear the airway and breathe.
