An Xray of a Crucifix in a Woman's Throat

This Xray from 1924 shows a crucifix wedged in a woman’s throat. According to the article that accompanies the image, the crucifix was eventually removed without surgery.

The story does not say how the Holy Object got there in the first place.

Suggestions?
