Deckhand chokes to death on bait

A deckhand choked to death on a bait fish he put in his mouth.

The 54-year-old longtime fisherman was trying to "make the students laugh" when he popped the fish in his mouth. It lodged in his throat and Jeff Twaddle quickly lost consciousness. He was pronounced dead at a hospital.

They had to send notes home to the families of the children so they could seek grief counseling.
