Dr. Kendall Crowns

But he also had another erosion from his esophagus into the pulmonary artery, creating another fistula.

which means the two biggest vessels of his body, the pulmonary artery and the aorta, had a direct communication to his esophagus, and there was no way to stop him.

With these two blood vessels being compromised, the child bled out quickly and died.

His cause of death was esophageal fistula of his aortic and pulmonary artery due to battery ingestion, and the manner of death was accident.

So it was not a choking per se, but still something had been swallowed that resulted in his death.

In closing, the death of a child is always difficult and upsetting to talk about and to hear about.

But the most common manner of death in children is actually accidents.

And accidents are almost always preventable.

And we can do this by talking about child death and create awareness.

And sometimes that awareness can save a life.

So if you found this episode helpful, share it, talk about it, and get the information out there.

Because who knows, the life you might save might be your own or someone you love.

And that brings us to the end of the episode.

I hope you learned something.

Until the next time.
