Turtle that ate nearly 1000 coins dies from blood poisoning

The turtle that underwent an operation to remove nearly 1000 coins lodged in its stomach died from blood poisoning on Tuesday. Named Omsin, meaning piggy bank, the 25-year-old sea turtle fell into a coma after a second operation following intestinal problems. Omsin had swallowed coins thrown by locals into a pond in Thailand as a sign of good luck.
