Notes

Death - Laryngitis :

Because the same passageway through which we produce voice sounds is that through which we breathe. In some cases of laryngitis, breathing becomes so obstructed by the swelling of the vocal cords that it is not possible to obtain sufficient oxygen; this rare result is called hypoxia from Acute Respiratory Distress Disorder.
