I was told someone died in a tornado from inhaling glass. What would specifically cause the death?

Question

I was told someone died in a tornado from inhaling glass. Can you tell me how that is possible? What would specifically cause the death? Internal bleeding? And approximately how long it would take to die from those types of injuries?

Answer

Particles must be smaller than one half micron before they can be inhaled, so the symptoms are identical for psitticosis, smoke inhalation, or anything else. The first symptom is a fever. You can google the rest of the diagnosis.
