A senior citizen of 62 years of age was admitted to the hospital for choking in his lungs after drinking a glass of water at 11:00 pm. He was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment but unfortunately died. His sudden death tells senior citizens that no matter what they do, they must pay attention to two things:

The elderly are prone to choking because the throat and swallowing muscles have degenerated and lack muscle strength.
