Did Mama Cass From The Mamas and The Papas Choke to Death on a Ham Sandwich

No, Mama Cass did not choke to death on a ham sandwich. She actually died from a heart attack due to her obesity. A man named Anthony Greenburgh was the man who started the rumor. He saw Cass Elliot in her bed, dead, with a ham sandwich and a cola next to her. Eating at that angle is dangerous, and you could easily choke at that position. He thought she had choked on the ham sandwich, but he didn't notice that the sandwich didn't have a bite in it. She didn't die from a ham sandwich, so don't tell everyone that she did, because it is a very mean myth.- John Baskin
