Man dies from picking his nose
December 12th, 2008
Ian Bothwell, 63, suffered a serious nose-bleed because of his habit and died as a result.
Nigel Meadows, Manchester coroner, said: “There is no explanation for this death other than he died from a nose-bleed, consistent with picking his nose. I do not think for a moment he knew what he was doing was going to cause his death.” He recorded a verdict of misadventure.
A pathologist concluded that Mr Bothwell, who suffered from dementia brought on by alcoholism, had picked his nose so much that it had caused him to bleed to death.
