foolery is nearly tragic Bluegill lodges in throat of

PLYMOUTH - A fisherman who accidentally swallowed a squirming
bluegill was turning blue and coughing up blood when paramedics
with forceps and a lighted scope came to his rescue, officials
said Monday.
Jamie Woods, 29, of Colchester was listed in fair condition
at McDonough District Hospital in Macomb on Monday, a day
after the bluegill got stuck in his throat.
Police said the fish, which damaged Woods' esophagus, was
dead when paramedics removed it.
Hospital paramedics and the Colchester Rescue Squad were
called just before 5:30 p.m. Sunday to 2385 E. 250th Road,
northeast of Plymouth.
They found that the fish, about 4 four inches long and more
than 1½ inches wide, had become lodged sideways in
Woods' throat.
An early call to paramedics indicated Woods was turning blue
and having difficulty breathing. Later, they were told his
breathing was labored, and he was coughing up blood.
Paramedics with forceps and a lighted scope pulled the fish
out before taking Woods to the hospital.
Officials said Woods was playing around with the fish in
his mouth when it began squirming and lodged itself in his
throat.
Woods was apparently fishing at the time, but other people
had moved him to a home by the time help arrived.
No information was available Monday about whether alcohol
was involved in the incident.
