9-year-old Bronx student chokes in cafeteria
A fourth-grade boy choked on meatballs during lunch in a New York City school cafeteria earlier this month and later died.
Witnesses tell the New York Post that 9-year-old Jonathan Jewth fell to the ground and was unconscious before help arrived. They say the women in the cafeteria didn’t know what to do and didn’t come to the boy’s aid.
Jonathan’s family said the little boy suffered brain damage and died Monday after the Dec. 5 incident at Public School 47 in the Bronx.
Schools Chancellor Dennis Walcott said the incident was a tragedy. Education officials didn’t respond to requests for comment about the worker’s suspected actions.
