Local man dies of starvation after waiting for half decent option to emerge on the Sushi Train

FEELING PECKISH: In a bizarre and tragic incident, a Sydney man has died this afternoon after blacking out at a local Sushi Train.

CCTV footage showed the man in the eatery for 45 minutes without eating anything.

His wife, who was sitting alongside him at the time, watched on as his head suddenly slumped down onto the table.

“He’s a fussy eater to be fair,” she told DBT.

“But he refused to budge unless a grilled salmon nigiri emerged on the Sushi Train.”

Doctors at St Vincent’s hospital pronounced the man dead only 19 minutes after he arrived by ambulance at the emergency department.

“We’re warning Sushi Train operators to have a decent range of options available to ensure this doesn’t happen again,” says a statement from the hospital.
