Roach-eating contest winner collapses, dies

[Francis]

OK I really didn't think this belonged in the food section.

So how many of you eat Roach, bugs and worms to win a contest ?

This guy did and unfortunately died right after.. :mad

The winner of a roach-eating contest in South Florida died shortly after downing dozens of the live bugs as well as worms, authorities said Monday.

About 30 contestants ate the insects during Friday night's contest at Ben Siegel Reptile Store in Deerfield Beach about 40 miles north of Miami. The grand prize was a python.

Edward Archbold, 32, of West Palm Beach became ill shortly after the contest ended and collapsed in front of the store, according to a Broward Sheriff's Office statement released Monday. He was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. Authorities were waiting for results of an autopsy to determine a cause of death.

You could never offer me enough money to eat anything like that, ever.

It would take a lot more money than any of you combined could ever offer me, to do that.
