Dana Hutchings, 41, of Fresno was devouring tacos as part of the amateur contest at the Fresno Grizzlies game against the Memphis Redbirds at Chukchansi Park on Tuesday when he started to choke, Fresno County Sheriff's Office spokesman Tony Botti said. Mathew Boylan, who watched Tuesday's contest, told the Fresno Bee he noticed Hutchings because he was eating much faster than the other two contestants. Hutchings appeared to be swallowing the tacos without chewing and collapsed about seven minutes into the contest, Boylan said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fandandy 3,312 Posted August 16, 2019 1 Quote A spokesman for Fresno County Sheriff’s Office said: ‘Hutchings arrived to the emergency room at 7.57 pm. ‘Medical staff began pulling out food to clear his airway, however, at 8:24 pm he passed away. ‘We do not have a cause of death at this point and it could take some time to determine.’ Uhhh, maybe he choked on tacos?

vuduchile 1,941 Posted August 16, 2019 My sons entered an ice cream eating contest this weekend. When they saw all the fatties they were going up against they decided to take their time and just enjoy their ice cream without all the mess and brain freeze. Eating competitions are dumb.
