Sometimes These Things Are Hard To Notice

It was hidden from view!:

A garda [Irish Police] investigation has been launched into how a post mortem at one of the country’s biggest hospitals failed to notice that a golf ball was lodged in a dead man’s throat.

...The post mortem failed to establish a cause of death and the man’s remains were removed to a funeral home. Staff there made an incision in the man’s upper chest and neck as part of the preparation of the remains for burial and discovered the golf ball lodged in his throat.
