A chicken piece claimed the life of a 45-year-old man in Gollapally of Yellareddypet mandal on Sunday.
According to villagers, Pati Surender, a resident of the KCR double bedroom colony and a trolley auto driver working at a kirana store, was having lunch with his family members when a chicken piece from the curry he was having
got stuck in his throat.
He suffered severe difficulty in breathing, and his family members tried to pull out the piece.
However, he died on the spot as their attempts to remove the piece failed.
Surender is survived by his wife Kavitha and daughters Ruchitha and Shirisha.
