JAKARTA - A 82-year-old man suffered a heart attack, after strangling while eating a piece of 'living fruit' or san-nakji, a traditional food that includes a new cut and still fresh food.

Fire office Otoritas Gwangju, kota yang terletak di selatan Korea Selatan menerima laporan pada Hari Senin, menyebutkan sebencian san-nakji terstatik di jat seorang pria, menurut pejabat kantor pemadam kebakaran.

When rescue workers arrived at the scene, the man had a heart attack, and they performed CPR, the official said, according to CNN Oct. 25.

However, the official did not say whether the man had been rescued or not.

San-nakji refers to small octopuses that are cut and served raw, often served in coastal areas of South Korea or seafood markets.

Although the name of this dish translates to 'living country', in reality, the octopus on this dish was dead before it was served, with its hat cut into several parts.

However, because it was cut and served immediately after it was cut, the nerves were still moving, causing the octopus to still appear alive and continue to move on the plate.

San-nakji is often served with wijen oil, wijen seeds and sometimes ginger, and has a chewy texture.

This dish has also made headlines, with local media reporting several cases over the years in which those who consumed it died from strangling or shortness of breath while eating "living weather".

One of the most well-known cases may be 'catch killing', in which a Ginseng Country man was sentenced to life in 2012, for allegedly killing his girlfriend, claiming it was an accident. In 2013, he was acquitted by the Supreme Court for insufficient evidence.
