Roach-eating contest winner choked to death

Seriously?

Archbold swallowed roach after roach, worm after worm. While the store didn't say exactly how many Archbold consumed, the owner told CNN affiliate WPLG that he was "the life of the party."

Soon after the contest was over, Archbold fell ill and began to vomit, the Broward County Sheriff's Office said.

Hmmm.... Broward County...

His death, of course, is not funny, but I couldn't help chuckling at the top comment under the article: "Worst last meal ever.".

Things may have turned out differently if he'd had tequila with his worms.

Didn't somebody else die recently trying to win a python through stupid scoffing of insects? Or is this the same one?

Darwin Award!

Sad for his family, good for mankind.

I think it's the same guy.

He should have entered the 'I'm A Celebrity' show

Yep, because I'd not heard of him either.

He made some unwise choices. Feel sorry for his family/friends, but not so much for him.

I can't understand why anyone would do something like that for any price. On the other hand I gag just thinking about it.

I kind of like the one further down: "This is why you chew your bug guts before swallowing".

I agree, don't mess with the order of the food chain.
