Dr. Henry Heimlich Has Died

Since 2016 has no chill, Dr. Henry Heimlich, inventor of the famed antichoking technique, has passed away at the age of 96 after suffering a heart attack. Decades after inventing the technique, Dr. Heimlich used it for the first time only this May, when he saved the life of an 87-year-old woman who was a fellow resident at his senior residence in Cincinnati, Ohio. Heimlich is survived by two sons and two daughters. Read his full obituary at the New York Times.
