Sole Fish

This week's object is a Sole, but in keeping with this month's theme is also a foreign object from inside the human body. Whilst a fisherman was drawing his net with both hands, he seized the sole with his teeth as it was trying to escape from a hole in the net. It managed to force its way into the fisherman’s throat, and before it could be removed it suffocated him. Upon post-mortem examination the sole was found with its teeth fastened to the wall of the man’s oesophagus, near his stomach.
