The autopsy demonstrated the presence of the cork in the larynx.

A somewhat analogous case, though not ending fatally, was reported by Hertz of a woman of twenty-six, who was anesthetized for the extraction of the right second inferior molar.

The crown broke off during the operation, and immediately after the extraction she had a fit of coughing.

About fifteen days later she experienced pain in the lungs.

Her symptoms increased to the fifth week, when she became so feeble as to be confined to her bed.
