Best Answer

The hot coal will burn around the esophagus and burn right through the mucus lining in the stomach, burn and damage the epithelial tissue in your stomach, and if it passes through the stomach, burn your other vital organs, which could be the lungs. The burning of the esophagus could kill you because it could cause constriction in your throat, not allowing you to breathe.
