    Florida man dies after winning roach-eating contest

    A 32-year-old man downed dozens of roaches and worms to win a python at a Florida reptile store, then collapsed and died outside minutes later.
    Edward Archbold was among 20 to 30 contestants participating in Friday night's "Midnight Madness" event at Ben Siegel Reptiles in Deerfield Beach, authorities said.
    The participants' goal: consume as many insects and worms as they could to take home a $850 python.
    Archbold swallowed roach after roach, worm after worm. While the store didn't say exactly how many Archbold consumed, the owner told CNN affiliate WPLG that he was "the life of the party."

    I'll be interested in seeing the cause of death. I'm hoping for "they ate their way out".

    Yeah, I'm not watching the video, but I'll bet he didn't chew all or even most of them. I bet stomach acid doesn't phase them, if they got that far. Yuck...ok, I'm done thinking about it.
