Golf Ball in Throat

(Dublin, Ireland) Irish gardai (law enforcers) are investigating a situation where a golf ball was found lodged in the throat of a deceased Dublin businessman.

Funeral home staff made the shocking discovery as the they prepared the man's body for burial recently.

Unusually, the object had not been discovered during the course of a post-mortem. The businessman, believed to be from south Dublin, has not been named.

The golf ball was found when the undertakers made an incision in the upper chest and neck area during the embalming.

The ball may have been forced down the man's throat but it is understood that gardai have ruled out foul play.

Boy, I'm stumped. How in the world could a golf ball shoved down someone's throat not be foul play? I think we can rule out that he was eating it.
