A man lies dead next to a feather. How did he die?

The man was a sword swallower in a carnival side-show. While he was practicing, someone tickled his throat with the feather, causing him to gag.

Real fact: twenty-nine deaths have been reported as a result of sword swallowing injuries since 1880.
