Well, you can’t blame THAT on the roaches. Let this be a lesson to us all: always chew your roaches thoroughly before swallowing and be sure to have a glass of water or your favorite beverage on hand to wash them down.

I think you’re right. That’s probably exactly what killed Cockroach Guy:

Choked to death on his own vomit of masticated worms and roaches. What a way to go.
