Man dies after eating cockroaches

Authorities are investigating what caused a Florida man to collapse and die after consuming dozens of roaches and worms to win a roach-eating contest that featured a python as the grand prize.


All the weird stories seem to come out of Florida.

didn't someone dies after a hotdog or chicken wing eating contest not too long ago? maybe i just wondered how they didn't drop dead.



In any case, what a way to go. You have to feel for the family that has to deal with this.

A lady in Cali died after a water drinking contest. She overdosed on water. Maybe these radio contests involving ingesting substances should be banned. Apparently the people entering them aren't smart enough to not partake.

Wisey I remember that story, I can't find it but I think it is on FG somewhere.

Flops I think he probably had something else going on, like maybe an

undiagnosed heart problem or something. Else why would 30 other

contestants not have a problem? (Aside from they didn't eat nearly as many)

I always find it sad what people will do for money or material goods. I refuse to watch any of the reality shows based on humiliation.
