A tragedy occurred in Israel on Wednesday morning when a 67-year-old Bnei Brak resident choked to death while eating a doughnut.
Paramedics who arrived at the scene carried out resuscitation techniques for a prolonged period of time and removed pieces of doughnut dough from his throat but were ultimately forced to declare his death.
On Monday, two men choked while eating a doughnut, with one man, a 70-year-old resident of Netanya, passing away, and the second man, a 61-year-old resident of Ofakim, evacuated to the hospital in serious condition, where he is now sedated and ventilated.
A statement from Magen Dovid Adom said: “Doughnut dough may be dangerous for babies, children, the elderly, and people who suffer from swallowing problems. The doughnut should be cut into small pieces and [those vulnerable] should be monitored while eating.”

and [those vulnerable] should be monitored while eating or better still have drink on hand, so they can drink whilst eating to soften the doughnut:- or how about the Israelis doing like we Jewish Americans & eating Latkes instead of Doughnuts over the holy Yom-Tov of Chanukah?
im so sorry but why am i laughing out loud?
Only difference is these punchkes (saturated grease carb bombs) are just killing sooner than later.
dry sense of humor- could it be that you’re laughing out loud after reading that 3 yidden choked to death is because you’re an idiot and have no compassion for them and the families left to bury and say Kaddish for them?
What awful comments. YWN maybe comments should only be allowed after commentators have given a proof they are Jewish?
dry sense of humor, You are Laughing because there is something wrong with you. maybe you have been damaged and totally broken your compassion barometer. but to share that comment shows something even worse, you are trying to normalize your perversion. Disgusting.
147- another dumb comment (but not as dumb as your almost daily Trump “Shlita” ones). American Jews only eat latkes on Chanukah? No donuts?
Why does YWN not have the feature allowing an offensive comment to be flagged which would alert a YWN moderator to review the flagged comment?
