I heard about two separate cases of
people dying during some kind of eating/endurance challenges. The
first was this cute ass 20 year old chick named Caitlin Nelson. Yes,
the first thing I thought when I saw her before hearing her story was
how cute she was. The second was that her dad died on 9/11. The third
was that she was one of the most helpful people ever. And lastly that
she died during a charity pancake eating contest. At this contest at
her school Sacred Heart University in Fairfield in Connecticut she
choked to death during the event. The official cause of death stated
“asphyxia due to obstruction of airway by bolus of food.” I have
never heard the term bolus in my entire life.
A policeman said that she started to
choke on the food and someone noticed and helped her to the ground.
They began CPR until police arrived two minutes later. The police
tried to clear her throat but it didn't work and she ended up dying
at the hospital. She was actually taken to one hospital and then
another. Her family has stated that she was an organ donor so even in
death she is still being more helpful than I'll ever be if you ave me
another 38 years on this planet. After reading her story I thought
“What a shitty way to go.” Just the other day my cousin asked me
how I'd like to die. Fast or long. Fast meaning suddenly. Slow
meaning I have time to say goodbye to folks and get shit in order. I
picked fast.
