“I said we needed to take him to the hospital, because if he had died in my house, I would have ended up in prison for the rest of my life. I could never justify any of this as not being murder,” he recalled.
Damon choked on a piece of pork rib.
Jimmy Kimmel tried to perform the Heimlich maneuver on the actor, but without success. “We tried several times, but it was too stuck.”
The host discovered in a YouTube video that giving small pieces of bread would make the food go down into the stomach. “That’s what saved him,” Kimmel said.
