In spite of all our differences, the one thing that binds all living creatures is that we each have an expiration date. This finality to our existence is what makes life special, something to be cherished and protected. But occasionally things can go terribly wrong…
An aspiring chef in England died after eating red-hot chili sauce in a competition with a friend.
Andrew Lee, 33, challenged his girlfriend’s brother to see who could eat the hottest sauce. Lee prepared a tomato sauce with red chilies grown on his father’s farm. Lee ate the sauce and immediately suffered intense discomfort and itching. He was found dead the next morning and possibly suffered a heart attack.
The coroner is conducting toxicology tests to see if Lee died from the hot sauce. Lee was in perfect health and had just passed a medical exam at work. He was a good cook and often prepared meals for his family.
Lee climbed into be around 2:30 am and was itching all over his body. His girlfriend scratched his back until he fell asleep. When she awoke, Lee was dead.
