Man dies after participating in a taco-eating contest

FRESNO, California- 41-year-old Dana Hutchings died shortly after joining a taco-eating contest at a minor league baseball game.

According to witness reports, Hutchings hit his head on the table and then collapsed on the floor. Witness Matthew Boylan told the Fresno Bee “It was like he’d never eaten before. He was just shoving the tacos down his mouth without chewing.”

What’s crazier is that that same park will actually be hosting the World Taco Eating Championship on Saturday, August 17.

The people behind the hosting say that they will “re-evaluate” how they go about with their contest, but Hutchings was part of a smaller competition.
