An autopsy has concluded that a Florida man choked to death after downing dozens of live roaches during a contest earlier this year.
The report released Monday says 32-year-old Edward Archbold of West Palm Beach died as a result of "asphyxia due to choking and aspiration of gastric contents."
Lab tests for drugs came back negative. The death has been ruled an accident.

I’m surprise that this didn’t happen on Fear Factor. Those are the same disgusting things they eat there — along with live scorpions.

Looks like they scrubbed the pics. Probably too many people “blowing lunch”.

To: Responsibility2nd
a Florida man choked to death after downing dozens of live roaches during a contest earlier this year. But did he win?
To: Responsibility2nd
At least he died doing what he loved to do.

St. Peter, at the Pearly Gates: “Let’s see, it says here, ‘Edward Archbold, West Palm Beach, Florida, age 32.’ Is that correct?”
Ed: “Yes, sir, it is.”
St. Peter: “OK, now what was it that brings you here?”
Ed: “Well, I was eating dozens of live cockroaches, and I guess it didn’t agree with me.”
St. Peter: “Ya think? Now you’re lucky that being stupid is not a disqualfier, son.”
Ed: “Excuse me, sir, is there a restroom up here somewhere? I think I’m not quite over it. . . .”

Sir, you and your taglines are having WAY too much fun on this thread.
