A six-year-old disabled girl
choked to death Friday after swallowing a sponge at an
elementary school in Pisa, ANSA sources said. An emergency
medical team vainly tried to revive her. The girl was said to
have been in a "common area" of the school when the piece of
sponge became lodged in her throat. Teachers and support staff
only realised what had happened when she was no longer
breathing, sources said.
