Death Rattle

Jacques-Louis David's "The Death of Gomer," 1793

A death rattle refers to one of two things:

1. a gurgling sound from a dying person's throat, usually a last ditch pitiful effort to draw some attention
2. a children's rattle that can cause death, often the case when accidentally swallowed
