His friends took him to a hospital 7km away, where doctors there declared him dead on arrival.

“The half-cooked eyeball, around two inches in diameter, got stuck in the respiratory pipe, choking the respiratory system. It might be the main reason behind the death,” Dr Swapnil Gupta was quoted by The Times of India as saying. “Moreover, the man was drunk, which leads to respiratory depression,” he added. “During respiratory depression, the likelihood of food getting choked in the respiratory pipe is high if the food is not chewed properly.”
