A north Texas man is dead after police say he choked on a bag of marijuana.

Police say Nickolas Sandoval, 24, was changing a flat tire in Corinth when officers stopped to help him.

They say that's when he apparently put the bag in his mouth and choked to death on it.

Police say they had no idea Sandoval was hiding the drugs in his mouth and it was too late to help when they noticed the plastic bag lodged in his throat.

Sandoval died at a Denton hospital.
