Died from choking on a ham sandwich. *Years* ago (before the Tv Land special), her own sister set the record straight that it was a heart attack. There just happened to BE a sandwich near her at death.
I think people just wanna keep the old myth alive because they think the image is funny...

i think it's ridiculous that such a talented woman has such a crappy legacy due to the fact that she was a larger woman.

The coroner's report after her death concluded that Mama Cass died of massive heart failure, brought on by obesity and the strains of crash dieting. The ham sandwich was just a rumour.

Monday Monday, I thought it was the sandwich until I saw a special on the Mamas and Papas on the biography channel and they said it was a heart attack.
Must be all that California Dreamin'!

People always remember the urban myths for some reason - probably as you say, it seems to make some sense. Real life is far more random.

I think she died of a heart attack from being overweight.

That's funny.
I don't know, but you're right. I mean, it is funny, but it's bad too. It's wrong for whomever made it up to have put me in a situation like this. I can't decide.

Yes I think that was it. Probably passed out while eating due to drugs

Yeah I agree. It is cruel and too many people think it is funny.

Her young death was truly a loss to the music industry. No matter how it happened, it's sad and tragic.
