Sumampa woman dies after choking during family lunch

A 30-year-old woman, Vanina Soledad Sosa, died after choking on food during a family lunch in Sumampa, Santiago del Estero. The incident occurred around 1:30 PM on Sunday while she was eating with her mother and her two children, aged 6 and 11.

Upon realizing the emergency, the children ran outside to seek help. A neighbor heard their cries for assistance and rushed to the house, transporting Sosa to the local Sumampa hospital in a private vehicle.

Medical staff performed airway clearance maneuvers and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) immediately upon her arrival. Despite these efforts, Sosa remained in critical condition and was pronounced dead shortly after reaching the medical center. Local police from the Sumampa Community Precinct No. 33 have interviewed family members and initiated an investigation. The death is currently being treated as a natural death pending medical certification.
