It was in his throat, not his stomach. This should be obvious, or else the bird would have died from lack of oxygen and exposure to acid.

Also, it asphyxiated the man, and it's why he died.

Alas the article did not say. Simply that it was “found alive”

It was actually found dead but it survived ultimately

The first line of the article is literally

The sudden death of a 35-year-old man only became more shocking when his autopsy revealed a live baby bird—potentially swallowed as part of an occult fertility ritual—lodged in his throat.

Where is the journalistic integrity. Was it in his stomach? Or his throat? Or is it all a big lie because like I said, journalistic integrity?!?!?

I've been referred to latintimes.com by Google or MSN News on several occasions and I blocked them as a source a few weeks ago.

That actually seams less shocking and in fact makes perfect sense.

Journalistic integrity is long gone.

I won't necessarily say you deserve it but if you swallow a bird well... Darwin at the very least

Fortunately, the ritual also involved eating bird seed, baking soda, bottled water, and tiny little oxygen tanks.

The dude will be very fertile in a couple years or so when he breaks down into soil so it must have worked
