A Victorian man bled to death after accidentally cutting his throat with a broken dinner plate, ambulance paramedics say.
The bizarre accident occurred about 6.10pm (AEDT) on Monday, when the 57-year-old Point Lonsdale man finished dinner and was taking the leftovers outside to give to his dog, the Geelong Advertiser reported.
The man fell while carrying food on a bowl or plate, said Rural Ambulance spokesperson Jessica Li.
"The bowl shattered and somehow cut him across the neck," Ms Li said.
"It's horrible. What are the chances the plate is going to break and you are going to fall on it that way?"
