"It's way too common to find people choked to death on toilet stalls at restaurants. By instinct, they don't want to disturb others and seek a place where they try to get whatever is stuck in their throat out. Please, if you are choking, try to get help, and let everyone know that you are in trouble. 'Oh I don't want to embarrass myself and ruin people's night, so I'll just die in the toilet' is a wrong mindset in that situation."
