Florida Doctor Strangled by Electronic Neck Massager, Authorities Say
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A South Florida doctor has died after authorities say she was accidentally strangled by a electronic neck massager on Christmas Eve.
Kenneth Gegerson called 911 after finding his wife's body on the bedroom floor next to the neck massager. Paramedics pronounced 37-year-old Michelle Ferrari-Gegerson dead at the scene. Authorities believe her necklace got caught in the massager and it quickly tightened around her neck.
According to Broward Sheriff's authorities, Ferrari-Gegerson spent the evening wrapping gifts and getting ready for work while using the massager to relieve neck pain.
