What type of food did Mamma Cass Elliot choke on causing her to die?

Cass Elliot's death was initially misreported as having been caused by her choking on a sandwich. The true cause of death, a heart attack, was not determined until an autopsy was performed a week later, but by that time the "ham sandwich" story had become entrenched in the public's mind.

At the height of her career in 1974, having just finished performing at the London Palladium theatre, she died of a heart attack. The coroner surmised her heart had weakened to the point of failure owing to Elliot's weight and the effects of several crash diets over the years. It should be noted that she died in the same bed, in the same room – albeit four years earlier – as manic drummer of The Who, Keith Moon, in an apartment owned by singer-songwriter Harry Nilsson. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mama_Cass Jun 03 06, 9:15 PM

A very sick rumor started after Mama Cass's death that she choked on a ham sandwich. However this is false but continues to exist as an urban ledgend. http://www.snopes.com/music/artists/mamacass.htm Jun 03 06, 9:16 PM
