Police are investigating after a care home resident choked to death on a cupcake topped with a marshmallow.
Alexander Ballmann, 45, suffered from a rare genetic disorder that caused swallowing difficulties.
He collapsed after eating the cake at Sandsground Care Home in Highworth, Wiltshire, on October 31 last year.
He was revived by medics and taken to hospital, but was placed in palliative care and died the following day.
A post-mortem found he suffered brain damage caused by a cardiac arrest after choking.
