The caption on the original says:
11/21/1949-New York, NY: The remains of what once was a succulent pre-Thanksgiving turkey rests against the well-stuffed frame of Charlie Black of New York, who had himself a feast on an airliner.
This PDF of a New York death index from the same year lists two entries for Charles Black, one of whom was 44 and died on 19 December 1949 -- roughly a month after this photo was taken.
Coincidence? Probably. Charles Black doesn't seem like a unique name.
Orrrrrr... this man died a month later, presumably from complications related to eating a whole fucking turkey on a commercial flight.
