This would be among the more embarrassing ways to die - a party bet for $5 to take a punch in the face, which kills you. And the punch is thrown by a 142 lb, 22 year old girl. Sympathies to the guy's family.

It’ll do wonders for Fatboy’s career. First clue: the attacker name is Startz!

Wow - article says 142 lbs. I don't think so - last time she weighed 142 was sometime back in grade school.

There’s no way that that woman is “5’5” and weighs 142lbs”.

NO WAY.

Without reading the article, I suspect it was a punch to the nose, causing a midfacial fracture which drives the bone fragments into the brain.

Clearly not guilty, even if she appears to be a couple of puppies short of a litter.
