A Liverpool bricklayer died accidentally of choking earlier this year after going out for a pub lunch.
Described as a “big, friendly giant”, Martin Peter Weir, 26, of Broom Way in Halewood, began to gag on a piece of meat as he dined at the Mersey View public house in Halebank on April 10, reports the Liverpool Echo.
North West Ambulance Service were called and he was rushed to nearby Whiston Hospital, but he sadly died despite the best efforts of the medical team there.
