A man died after choking on a piece of meat, an inquest has found.
Yukio Nishigaki, 83, from Evesham swallowed it while having lunch at a local pub.
The inquest heard the first paramedic on the scene should have used an instrument to check his airway before pushing in a tube.
But a consultant said even if the correct equipment had been used, it would have been difficult to remove the meat in time.

The meat was eventually removed by an ambulance paramedic, who arrived at the scene later, the hearing was told.
