    Journal: Am J Forensic Med Pathol; 1988 Mar; 9(1):51-3. PubMed ID: 3354525.
    Abstract:
    The case history is presented of a 4-year-old boy, with a history of pica, who aspirated table pepper with subsequent respiratory arrest, severe anoxia, and death. We believe this to be the first case reported in the literature of fatal accidental aspiration of pepper.
