MIAMI (AP) — A contestant in a roach-eating contest who downed dozens of live bugs and worms collapsed and died shortly after winning the contest in South Florida, authorities say.

About 30 contestants ingested the insects during Friday night's contest at Ben Siegel Reptile Store in Deerfield Beach about 40 miles north of Miami. The grand prize was a python.

How in the world can anyone eat one live roach, let alone a lot of live roaches? Yuck.

Once the first one goes it seems kind of silly to not go for the record.
