CHICAGO - May 8, 2013 (WPVI) -- A 28-year-old teacher has died after choking on a hot dog while attending a Chicago Cubs game Sunday.

Officials tell WLS-TV in Chicago that Maureen Oleskiewicz of Orland Park was sitting in the bleachers Sunday around 12:55 p.m. when she began choking.

Ballpark staff and onsite EMTs responded and transported her to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center where she died.

Oleskiewicz was a teacher at Independence Junior High School in Palos Heights.
"The Chicago Cubs are saddened to hear news of the untimely death of Maureen Oleskiewicz. We express our deepest sympathy to her family and friends. We will continue to keep her family in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time," a Cubs news release said.

Incarnation Catholic Church in Palos Heights is hosting a prayer service Thursday at 7 p.m. in honor of Oleskiewicz, according to a statement posted on School District 128 website.

"There is no magic wand to fix what we cannot comprehend," District 128 Supt. Kathleen Casey wrote in a letter to parents. "Maureen had a positive impact on countless students, parents and & colleagues. Her vibrant, positive outlook on life and her joyful nature will be missed more than words can convey."

Fuck that sucks. Choking on food is surely in my top 20 most fucked ways to go so I chew carefully and even more important, I stop myself from laughing with food in my mouth while watching TV, no matter how funny something is to me. DR has me being pretty cautious about everything I do, besides sex

Maureen suddenly slumped over and fell between rows of bleachers. Martin thought it was a joke at first. But by the time the national anthem was played, rescuers were performing CPR on his sister.

“There were no signs she was in distress. She just went down,” said Martin, 23, shaking his head at the memory of standing by, helplessly, as a nurse in the crowd and EMTs performed chest compressions on his sister. “They were saying she didn’t have a pulse. It felt hopeless.”

He and the others providing aid didn’t know she had choked on a hot dog and was unable to breathe.

I have had a small fear of choking on gum since I heard of a kid choking to death on gum while on a carnival ride. I only chew it for a few seconds before spitting it out.

Don't know what is more horrifying, choking to death or sitting through an entire Cubs game
