The Champ Dies

Down near Miami, Florida there was a roach eating contest and Edward Archbold ended up winning the contest and winning a python but losing his life. He downed a couple dozen roaches and worms in order to win. After he won he collapsed in the store and was then taken to the hospital where they pronounced him dead. "Unless the roaches were contaminated with some bacteria or other pathogens, I don't think that cockroaches would be unsafe to eat," said Michael Adams, professor of entomology at the University of California at Riverside. No other contestants got ill after the contest but it is known for people to have reactions to the roaches. The prize has been put aside in his name and was given to  his estate.
