A TIRED husband almost died after his mouth got stuck wide open when he was yawning.


 

Ben Shire was making a cup of tea when he strained his jaw so much he dislocated it, The Sun reported.

The horrified store worker, 34, collapsed in his kitchen unable to breathe or swallow.

His frantic wife dialled emergency services as he lay choking on his saliva.

Ambulance officers rushed him to hospital with his jaw still locked – and brought him back from the brink of death using a suction device.

“We can laugh about it now – but it wasn’t funny at the time," Mr Shire said after medics won a four-hour battle to close his mouth.

“I couldn’t breathe because I was choking – it felt like two fingers down my throat.

"The more I panicked the more I struggled for breath.”
