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, 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.

Probably terminal stupidity!
Anybody that stupid should be dead.
It is really hard to believe how stupid some people are.
guuuurroosss...what on earth makes people do these dumb things?
This is exactly why I refused to watch Fear Factor.Anytime people eat bugs on TV I grab the remote in desperation.
he died for lack of the prospect of ever getting a kiss.
This contest is just like eating at the many Muslim owned resturants all around Delmarva!
I never knowingly patronize foreign ownership in a restaurant or store or gas station.
