A kindergartner in Marlborough, Mass., died Wednesday after choking
while riding a bus home from Francis J. Kane Elementary School. Medical
personnel responded immediately, but were unable to revive the 5-year-old boy,
school officials say. The boy swallowed a "foreign object"
that was not food.

UPDATE: Holding the metal paper fastener believed to have choked her
son to death, Sonja Cobb angrily blamed the city of Marlborough for
the loss of the 5-year-old boy. Cobb says there should have been someone on the bus who knew first aid,
and she vows to fight to have monitors placed on school buses.
